Toasted Cheese is happy to announce the winners of the 2015 A Midsummer Tale Narrative Writing Contest:

1st: “Our Happiest of Places,” fiction by David Thom
2nd: “Blue Door, Dry Spell, Sinking Elliott,” fiction by Anais Jay
3rd: “Get on the Plane, Jane,” fiction by Susan Shiney
Honorable Mention: “The Drop,” fiction by Shelley Wood

Congratulations!

My apologies for the delay in announcing the winners. This was by far the largest number of entries we’ve received for a contest and it was a bit overwhelming! The good news is, since we received over 100 entries, first place will receive a $50 Amazon gift card, second place a $15 Amazon gift card, and third place a $10 Amazon gift card. All three winning stories will appear in the September issue of Toasted Cheese.

Kudos to everyone who entered. We hope you’ll join us for A Midsummer Tale again in 2016 and that you’ll pass the contest info along to your writing friends! Next summer’s theme will be announced April 1, 2016.

TC’s next contest is the Three Cheers and a Tiger 48-hour writing contest, which runs the weekend of September 18-20. The fall rendition of 3 Cheers has a science fiction / fantasy theme and is judged by Boots and Broker.
