On behalf of the estate of T Paulo Urcanse, and with the full weight and authority of the Editorial Staff here at High Horse, it is my distinct honor to announce this year’s winners and finalists for the second annual T Paulo Urcanse Prize For Literary Excellence, as follows:

1st Place: Scorpion Season

By Lee Tyler Williams

2nd Place: Holyfields + Dangerfields

By Niles Baldwin

3rd Place: Watermelon Rhapsody

4th Place: The Solar Salon

5th Place: The Devil and the Mirror

In the weeks to come, we’ll be releasing the work of our contest winners on this website, so be on the lookout. We received 332 submissions for our prize this year. It was a great pleasure reading all of the wonderful writing we received, and we are flattered by everyone’s enthusiasm in submitting, and of course in memorializing through their efforts the timeless work of the great Portuguese writer, of whom this prize is dedicated.

All blessings,

The Editors
