Calvino Prize

The Calvino Prize is an annual fiction competition sponsored by the Creative Writing Program in the English Department of the University of Louisville. It will be awarded to an outstanding piece of fiction in the fabulist experimentalist style of Italo Calvino. (Please note that the prize is meant to encourage experimental writing, in the mode of Calvino, and is not meant to encourage merely imitative work.) Deadline: October 15, 2006. Details here.
