THE ICELANDIC CANADIAN
Spring 1954
Since the days of Snorri’s Heimskringla and the
Eddas, Icelanders have taken great pride in their
literary heritage. If that heritage is to be pre-
served on this side of the ocean, it must be done in
the English language; and with this aim in view,
the Icelandic Canadian Magazine is seeking liter-
ary contributions both in poetry and in prose. So
come on, folks, show us that our literary tradition
didn’t die with our ancestors.
• Prizes: Short stories, $25 and $15; Poetry,
$15 and $10.
• Short stories should not exceed 3,000
words. However, should a longer story
of outstanding merit be received, an
exception may be made.
• There is no limit to choice of material.
Able and experienced judges will be
selected, and their decision will be final.
The Board reserves the right not to
make an award in either contest.
• Members of our editorial staff are not
eligible to enter the contest.
