Erasure Contest Winners?

Have the winners been announced yet? I've not seen a notice yet, either here or on the Geist e-mail list.

If they've not yet been announced, can we know a date for the announcement?

Online Submission, File Name

I was wondering on online submissions, is it ok to have my name as part of file name? Not on the entry itself(word document) but as part of file name

Format

Would you like for us to reprint the entire text and actually black it out using a highlighter (digitally) or would you simply like for us to rewrite the text. It seems that unless we provide it surrounded by the original text, someone could write anything.

Erasure Format

Hi,

Thanks for your question.

No need to reprint the entire text--you can just type out your selection of remaining words.

Entry specifications

Hi! I've noticed on your "online submissions" page there are quite a few specifications (ie; font size, spacing, etc) listed - yet to submit via mail, these rules aren't listed. To submit via canada post, should my poem meet the requirements for online submissions? Perhaps it's a silly, obvious question, but I want to be sure!

US entrants

Are entrants from the US considered international? In other words, do we only get a digital copy of the magazine?
