Closed - 7th Annual Writers Digest Poetry Awards


US-based Writer's Digest runs a series of writing competitions throughout the year for writers worldwide.  If you have something to say in a poem, as long as it is 32 lines or less, they would love to hear it! I managed to pick up a 10th place in the 2009 Awards - so anything is possible!

Entry fee: USD$15 for first poem; USD$10 for each subsequent poem.

Prize:  First Prize of USD$500 and cost-contribution towards attendance at the Writer's Digest Conference to be held in New York in January 2012. Cash prizes for 2nd (USD$250), 3rd (USD$100) and 4th to 10th (USD$25) places and gift certificates for 11th to 25th place.  All winners receive a copy of the 2012 Poets Market. The first 50 place-getters are also published in an annual Awards Collection. 

Open to: Poets everywhere.

Deadline:  1 December 2011
