I just heard a rumor from another writer friend that there is not going to be a Nicholl competition this year for 2026. Anyone else hear that? I’m quite surprised by it, if it’s true.

Their most recent “update” on anything was 14 months ago:

The person I heard this from had emailed Black List to inquire about it and Black List said this:

“As of yet, nothing is certain regarding the next edition of the Nicholl Fellowship. The Black List certainly hopes to once again be the public submission portal. Please make sure you are signed up for our email list, as any updates will be communicated via our newsletter!”
