In 2019, The Ekphrastic Review began nominating writers for the Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize literary awards. As of 2020, we are also nominating writers for Best Microfiction and Best Small Fictions.
We also created our own annual Fantastic Ekphrastic literary awards.
Thanks to our wonderful team of nomination readers, past and present, for making all of this possible: Dr. Queen Sarkar, Laura Cherry, Jordan Trethewey, Alarie Tennille, Kari Ann Ebert, and Carole Mertz, along with editor Lorette C. Luzajic.
In 2016, we nominated for one session, for Best of the Net.
Our contributor Jo Balistreri was also nominated for a Pushcart in 2018 by the Pushcart reading committee!
