Get involved
Join the founding circle.
Tell us how you would like to be involved: judging, reading, advising, sponsoring, press, or simply hearing when submissions open. We read every note.
Working terms
Clarity before commitment.
Reader and judge roles are intended to be paid. No one will be asked to commit until the role, workload, schedule, compensation, confidentiality terms, and conflicts are confirmed.
Active advisors, readers, process reviewers, and judges, as well as their immediate family or household members, cannot compete in the same cycle. No one will be named publicly without explicit consent.
Sponsors do not receive access to entries, reviewer identities, scores, deliberations, or award influence.
Submissions open December 1, 2026, and close February 1, 2027. Sign up to hear the day they open.
