Frequently asked question: "What do I get if I win?"
Frequently given answer: "It's mainly for the glory." TH will publish and feature one or more of the best entries in prose and poetry. In addition, one of our "angels" has agreed to donate a US$30 bookstore gift certificate for the first place winner in each category. For the last several issues, a second "angel" matched the first, and we've been able to offer two prizes.
NEW RULE: Starting with issue 14, first and second place winners must skip an issue before entering again.
