Nimrod/Hardman Literary Awards
Mission
Nimrod International Journal is published twice a year, spring and fall. Nimrod’s mission is discovery: the journal seeks new, unheralded writers; writers from other lands who become accessible to the English speaking world through translation; established authors who have vigorous new work to present that has not found a home within the establishment. Nimrod serves the national and international community of writers and readers by presenting the best writing, whether experimental or traditional:
- in print as Nimrod International Journal
- on the radio
- in live performances
- through creative writing workshops
- by sponsoring and administering its annual competition for poetry and fiction: THE NIMROD/HARDMAN AWARDS: The Katherine Anne Porter Prize for fiction, The Pablo Neruda Prize in Poetry.
- by selecting from its Spring issue each year, an editor's prize-winning work in fiction and poetry.
