The Pushcart Prize is an American literary prize published by Pushcart Press that honors the best “poetry, short fiction, essays or literary whatnot” published in the small presses over the previous year.
Every year, ‘Men Matters Online Journal’ will proudly nominate up to 6 talented authors with a selected poem or short story for this prestigious prize.  The nominees for 2026 will be listed below in early December 2026.
