Dear %%$first%%,

Many thanks for sending your work to the 11th 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 June 4, 2015. The winners will be announced in our upcoming summer issue, Geist 97, on newsstands in July.

A new writing opportunity is already underway—the Geist Short Long-Distance Writing Contest! Submit before August 1, 2015 to win cash prizes and publication in Geist. Get all the details here.

Best wishes,
