About the Contest

The Ooligan Press Annual Short Story Contest

Since 2005, spring term students in the Advanced Book Editing course have held a short story contest open to all members of the Portland State University community. Each year the Ooligan editors select four or five winning authors as writers to watch. The editors’ ongoing credo: “We’ll know good writing when we see it.”
