No entries will be
returned, even if accompanied by an SASE.
The winner and finalists will be notified via email.
Other entrants will not be notified about the judges’ decisions even if an SASE is enclosed for this purpose.
The winner and finalists in each category will be announced on the Malahat web site, and in Malahat lite, the magazine’s electronic newsletter, in April 2010.
Winning entries will be published in The Malahat Review’s Spring 2010 issue.
