This from Authors Publish:
Narrative Magazine, which has published many respected and established authors and already has a substantial general submission fee ($23), announced the finalists of their 2024 Fall Story contest. They hold a story contest three times a year, once for each season except for summer. Entry fees are $27, and the generally first prize winner is awarded $2,500, Second Prize is $1,000, Third Prize is $500. Instead because there were only finalists they were paid $100 each. You can see their full guidelines here. No one was refunded. Additionally Narrative used to offer one limited fee-free submission period a year that we used to list, but because their submission system was so hard to use, and most writers felt forced to pay in the end, we no longer list them. They are already promoting their winter prize. Becky Tuch also shared other details including how much the editors make, here:
