The hunt is on …
For talented Canadian writers to submit their unpublished gems to This Magazine’s annual Great Canadian Literary Hunt.

This Magazine: Because Everything Is Political.
Forty-two years and still going strong, This Magazine is one of Canada’s longest-publishing alternative journals.

For 13 years this national event has attracted hot new Canadian talent seeking a chance at fame and a $750 cash prize for first place. The top three entries in both the fiction and poetry categories will also be published in a special literary supplement in our November/December issue and gain national exposure. Past winners have gone on to win top honours at the National Magazine Awards, the Journey Prize, and been published by the top houses in the country.

Just send your entries in by July 2 and join This Magazine’s tradition of heralding the brightest talent in Canadian letters.
