Eligibility
Submissions
Fair Use of All Submissions
By submitting their work for publication, the participant will be regarded as having granted Caballo Literary Journal the right to use the work in print, broadcast and/or electronic media without any fee payment, for the purposes of promoting the journal or Caballo Press of Ann Arbor.
Timing
Submissions will only be accepted during the open call for this category, May 15 to July 15. Submissions made before this time will be rejected and if the artist wishes to submit the work again, a separate entry fee will apply.
Simultaneous Submissions
We feel that it’s unreasonable to expect artists to give us an exclusive look at a work. We want artists to have every possible opportunity for success, so we’re willing to risk losing a piece of art we want when someone at another publication may have decided to use the piece before we have, and in that case we’ll be sorry to lose the piece but happy for the artist. Please note that entry fees are non-refundable.
Response Time
Semi-finalists will be named on July 31 and the winner named on August 10.
Submission Fees
Caballo Literary Review is a privately held subsidiary of Caballo Press of Ann Arbor. It is the ambition of the journal to encourage extraordinary literary and creative work and to bring a much needed recognition to this work. Fees will help to cover the basic administrative costs related to receiving, reading, and responding to submissions, as well as cover the cost with production of the journal. A portion of entry fees in the Horsenameographies Category are donated to Thoroughbred rescues of the submitter's choice. We hope you will feel that the entry fee, which is lower than most literary journals, is more than justified by the quality of the work the journal will offer. We are strongly committed to publishing established and emerging creators of Equine related works.
Entry Fee
Entry to the Established & Emerging Artists Categories (Paint and Sketch) requires a $25 fee per submission. Three (3) works of art are allowed per entry. The fee is payable by Visa or MasterCard through the online submission system. Submissions for the artists' categories will be accepted from May 15 to July 15. However, please consider submitting your work in the General Showcase Category. The same eligibility and guidelines apply. Those selected are featured on the Caballo Literary Journal's website.
