Jeffrey E. Smith Editors’ Prize Contest Winners
On behalf of this year’s Editors’ Prize contest coordinators Jessica Garratt, Stephanie Carpenter and Darren Pine, we would like to thank everyone who entered this year.

Cynthia Morrison Phoel, Newton Highlands, MA, “Never Trust a Man Who . . .”
Natalie Sears, New York, NY, “Arctic Summer”

Happy holidays to all our entrants. It was a tough competition this year, and we’d like to thank everyone who submitted their work to our judges.
