ur Fiction and Poetry Competitions began in 1998 and since that time, through seven competitions, we have never asked for an entry or reading fee. The cash prizes were given from donations made to the Review. Unfortunately, our income from donations in recent years has come from the same few people it always has. We could continue as we have done in the past - but we couldn’t grow. It is then with something of a heavy heart we have to announce that for future competitions we will be charging a nominal $5 per three poems or one short story. — from The Alsop Review Newsletter, November 7th, 2003
