Our 2019 Contest Prize Winners:

Note that all our decisions were made blind; we didn't know whose work we were reading until we made accept/decline decisions. Thus we were surprised and delighted to see the worldwide scatter of contributors who will be in Bacopa Literary Review 2019, representing Australia, Canada, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Nigeria, Tunesia, U.K., and from coast to coast of the U.S.
