B) Employees, interns, or contractors of Red Hen Press;

C) Relatives of employees or members of the executive board of directors;

D) Relatives or individuals having a personal or professional relationship with any of the final judges where they have taken any part whatsoever in shaping the manuscript, or where, for whatever reason, selecting a particular manuscript might have the appearance of impropriety.

Procedures and Ethical Considerations

Bios, acknowledgments, and other identifying material shall be removed from judged manuscripts until the conclusion of the competition. Red Hen Press shall not use students or interns as readers at any stage of its competitions. Red Hen Press is committed to maintaining the utmost integrity of our awards.
