When we made the ad for our second contest a few months ago, we honestly didn't even have Kong on the mind. But he's on our mind now. Serendipity. And whatever Kong's doing in the picture at right, with his little white bag and pink bow and that smoking volcano in the background, he wants you to be a part of it.

All the details are here. Entry fee of $15 nets you a year's subscription, and the two winners each receive $400 and publication in Backwards City #4. All entries are considered for publication.

The editors will be judging the contest on Kong's behalf. You can send entries to:

BCR Short Story/Poetry Contest
Backwards City Review
P.O. Box 41317
Greensboro, NC 27404-1317

or wait until Monday when we launch our hush-hush, high-tech, nobody-knows-about-it-but-it's-gonna-be-huge online submission system. Hope to read you.
