Black Fox Literary Magazine: Contests
Deadline: March 31, 2026 (11:59pm EDT)
Black Fox is accepting submissions for its Winter 2026 writing prize.
Theme: Fairy Tale Remix
What if the big, bad wolf were a person with a dark, complex past? Or what if Snow White wasn't so perfect on paper?
We're once again looking for original work that reimagines fairy tales from around the world. We challenge writers to reshape classic fairy tales and invent their own spellbinding versions. Give us a twist to a familiar plot, introduce modern elements, or explore unconventional characters. This theme offers a chance to remix fairy tales in your own distinctive way. Writers are encouraged to write fresh, new work inspired by classic fairy tales. Enchant the hearts of our readers!
Please submit fiction, nonfiction, or poetry. The prize is $325 and print publication in the Summer 2026 issue. All submissions are considered for print publication.
Contest entry fee: $12.
