Contest Opens
International
Library of Poetry has announced that $58,000 in prizes will be
awarded this year in the International Open Poetry Contest. Poets
from the New York area, particularly beginners, are welcome to
try to win their share of over 250 prizes. The deadline for the
contest is November 30, 2003. The contest is open to everyone
and entry is free.
“Any
poet, whether previously published or not, can be a winner,” stated
Fran Campos, Contest Director. “When people learn about our free
poetry contest, they suddenly realize that their own poetic works
of art can win cash prizes, as well as gain national recognition,”
she continued.
To enter, send one original poem, any subject and any style, to:
The International Library of Poetry, Suite 19909, 1 Poetry Plaza,
Owings Mills, MD 21117. The poem should be 20 lines or less, and
the poet’s name and address should appear on the top of the page.
Entries must be postmarked or sent via the Internet by November
30, 2003. You may also enter online at www.poetry.com.
