NEWSLETTER - SHORT-STORY AWARDS

          Dear Readers,
 
      At the end of April, the submission for the short-story contest ended.
We received 13 submissions and we liked the odds. 13 is a very beautiful prime number!
And the irony was that submission number 13 won the contest! Way to go, number 13!
 
    We loved all the stories and we felt that all of them should have been winners. However, as we had to choose only three, we held a secret vote and, ironic again, with one vote astray, we all voted the same three stories and the order of the winners.
 
   Please, allow us to present the winners of the first short-story competition organized by Scarlet Leaf Review:
 
FIRST AWARD       - $150  - ARTHUR LUCIAN     – THE SHADOW
 
SECOND AWARD - $100 – Aleena Dumovski     – THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
 
THIRD AWARD       - $75 – Mira Popescu             – THE BUILDING
 
    Join us, please, to congratulate the three winners of the short-story competition of 2016!
 
    Also, please, read their stories and let them and us know what you think!
