First place ($250) went to "The Education of Little Tree Boy," by Coke Newell of Layton; second place ($175) was awarded to "Trying," by Angela Hallstrom, White Bear Township, Minn.; and third place ($100) went to "Haun's Mill," also by Newell.
Honorable mentions were awarded to: "Meek Shall Inherit," by Samuel Brown, Cambridge, Mass.; "Ramona's Signs," by Richard J. Butler, Provo; "Sacred Places," by Angie Lofthouse, Springville; and "Mysterious Ways," by Matt Toronto, New York.
The three winning entries will be published in the Autumn 2003 issue of Irreantum, the AML's literary quarterly
Next year's Irreantum Fiction Contest will be announced early in 2004.
