Here is a small sampling from our recent Editor Interviews. We have interviewed over 2,200 editors.

Q: Do you nominate work you've published for any national or international awards?

A: Our winners have been featured in the Poets & Writers Magazine. And we are just beginning to explore more nomination opportunities.

A: Best of the Net and Pushcart, starting in 2024

A: Sometimes Forward Prize

A: To be honest, I'm not a fan of poetry contests or awards. If poems could run the 100 meters, ok, put them on the line and see what happens. But, they can't. So, we don't nominate for awards. With each issue, we submit a copy of the journal to Verse Daily, and fortunately for us they have featured work from several issues, which helps give those poets more readers.

A: All poems published are considered for the Pushcart Prize.

A: We nominate for Best-of-the Net

A: Yes.

A: Beginning in 2024, we will nominate writers for the Pushcart Prize and the Best of the Net.

Margaret R. Sáraco and Mary Brancaccio, Poetry Editors of Platform Review, 04 March 2024

A: We nominate for Best of the Net and Pushcart Prizes!

A: Yes. We nominate for Pushcart, Best of the Net, and AKO Caine Prize.

A: No, not yet.

Doug Jacquier, Editor of Witcraft, 28 February 2024

A: Yes, we nominate for Best of the Small Presses, Best of Net, and Best Spiritual Literature. Additionally, our "Dead Herring Prize" is awarded annually to "staggering works which slay real-world red herrings in our day-to-day lives." All accepted stories, poems, prose, comics, notes, doodles, whispers, and whimsy published by Skipjack Review during the calendar year are considered.
