The 2026 Masters Review Reprint Prize — now in its fourth year — is open for submissions of previously published prose (under 6,000 words) from June 15 to June 30, 2026. Open to emerging writers only.
Any fiction or creative nonfiction published prior to June 1, 2025, is eligible. We want to celebrate (or re-celebrate) stories and essays that are no longer available online or in print, or that are looking for an opportunity to find a new audience. As always, we set no limitations on style or topic, but our primary interest is in literary prose.
The winner of this prize, selected by The Masters Review’s editorial staff, will receive a $500 prize and online publication.
The submission fee is $10.
International submissions are allowed, provided the work is written primarily in English.
