CLMP Contest Code of Ethics

CLMP's
community of independent literary publishers believes that ethical
contests serve our shared goal: to connect writers and readers by
publishing exceptional writing. We believe that intent to act
ethically, clarity of guidelines, and transparency of process form the
foundation of an ethical contest. To that end, we agree to 1) conduct
our contests as ethically as possible and to address any unethical
behavior on the part of our readers, judges, or editors; 2) to provide
clear and specific contest guidelines -- defining conflict of interest
for all parties involved; and 3) to make the mechanics of our selection
process available to the public. This Code recognizes that different
contest models produce different results, but that each model can be
run ethically. We have adopted this Code to reinforce our integrity and
dedication as a publishing community and to ensure that our contests
contribute to a vibrant literary heritage.
