"The Perkoff Prize is a tri-genre contest that awards $1000 and publication each to writers of the best story, set of poems, and essay that engage in evocative ways with health and medicine as judged by the editors.
DEADLINE: March 15."
I urge you to continue reading the article regarding the contest. It talks about how/why the Perkoff Prize began and how it has transformed to what it is today. I find this to be of great interest and the deadline isn't until mid-March.
