TOKYO--Wingspan, the monthly English-language inflight magazine of All Nippon Airways announces its 9th Annual ANA Wingspan Fiction Contest. For the ninth year in a row, we are seeking previously unpublished, English-language fiction in the short-story format for the magazine=B9s literature section. In addition to having a theme related to Japan, its culture, people or society, and being suitable for the general readership of Wingspan, the story must conform to Contest Guidelines and be accompanied by an official Entry Form, available on the Internet <<http://www.ana.co.jp/wingspan/fic.htm> or from the magazine=B9s editorial offices in Tokyo. There are no other requirements or fees for entry. In past years, the magazine has received hundreds of excellent stories from professional and amateur writers in more than two dozen different countries and has gained a reputation as a high-class medium for fiction. Opportunities for fiction writers to get their material published are quite limited. A past winner, Ms. Iris Yamashita, summed up the feelings of many authors who have entered the contest from Japan and abroad, saying as she received her prize, =B3I=B9m grateful to ANA for sponsoring such a contest, as it enables aspiring writers all over the world to gain helpful recognition.=B2 Stories will be reviewed by a panel of distinguished English-speaking Japanese and non-Japanese judges and three will be selected to receive prizes. Authors of the top two prize-winning entries will each receive two round-trip tickets (First-Class and Club ANA=8BBusiness Class respectively) between Japan and a choice of any ANA international destination, while the author of the story receiving Third Prize will receive two round-trip tickets between Tokyo and a choice of any ANA domestic destination within Japan or ANA Travel Baggage. In addition to the prizes, all three top stories will be published in Wingspan.
