Announcing the 2011 Best of Spittoon Awards! 

Click here to see the winning writers.


 

 

All work selected for publication will automatically be entered in our yearly Best of Spittoon contest: one winner   in each genre will be recognized and featured on our website, along with a brief artistic statement from the author; each author will also be awarded a trophy (delivered via USPS). 

The trophy is--you guessed it--an authentic spittoon. Since the trophies are authentic and will often be vintage, each is unique in age, size, shape, color, patina, etc.; they will not   be engraved, but they will be accompanied by an official "Best of Spittoon" certificate of authenticity.

The editors' decisions when choosing writing for Spittoon awards are based on a number of factors, including--but not limited to--editor consensus across and between genres; unsolicited feedback from readers; and how well the piece fits with the stated mission of the journal.

These awards are funded solely by donations. If you are interested in sponsoring an award, or even in donating $1, visit our Spittoon Store.
