Dear %%$first%%,

Many thanks for sending your work to the 10th Annual Geist Literal Literary Postcard Story Contest. The judging committee has chosen the winners, and we are sorry to say that your work was not among the winning stories.

The short list will be announced at geist.com May 21, 2014. The winners will be announced in our upcoming summer issue, Geist 93, on newsstands in June.

A brand new writing opportunity is already underway—the Geist Tobacco Lit Writing Contest! Submit before September 1, 2014 to win cash prizes and publication in Geist. You can find more information here.

Thanks again for taking a run at the postcard contest. The microscopic, image-inspired story is harder than it looks, and we appreciate your effort.

Best wishes,

AnnMarie MacKinnon
Operations Manager

P.S. If you'd like to have your postcard returned (and included an SASE with your submission) please send a note to geist@geist.com.
