Though the prize pool for the Friends of the Merril Short Story Contest is funded by entry fees, we are potentially open to accepting donations toward the prize pool from interested individuals or presses/magazines/organizations (who must be related to the speculative fiction field in some fashion).
If interested in donating toward the prize pool please contact Michael Matheson at fomsscontest@gmail.com to discuss this option. In such an event, donors will have their name/organization listed and are entitled to one free embedded link with their listing. All requests to donate to the Friends of the Merril Short Story Contest are vetted by contest staff, and are subject to approval.

Both in light of their generous donations of time and aid in running this contest, as well as the excellent quality of their respective services and publications, we strongly urge you to support our Major Sponsors. You can buy books from Bakka and ChiZine, donate to Ideomancer, or purchase issues of Shadows & Tall Trees, and once our full list of Major Sponsors is up we’ll let you know how you can help support our other Major Sponsors as well.

We’ve had the good fortune to have the Friends of the Merril Short Story Contest listed or mentioned across multiple websites - CreativeWritingContests, TheCulturalGutter, JustaContest, PlacesforWriters, probablymonsters, UndertowBooks, and on a slew of message boards, among others – but we wanted to give our special thanks to Ralan. For nearly 15 years now, Ralan’s SpecFic & Humor Webstravaganza has been one of the most consistently reliable, consistently updated, and most approachable of directory websites. It is quite simply one of the most comprehensive writer’s reference websites online, and we’re delighted to be listed with them.
