| Competition Rules and Requirements: 1. Your entry must be accompanied by an Entry Form (found at bottom of page) and the required entry fee. If you are entering more than one poem, you may mail all entries in the same envelope; however, each entry must be on its own page.

Please do not send us any Novels/Short Stories/Chapbooks! 2. Your entries must be original (your own) and written in English! Do NOT send us any plagiarized material, in part or in full. 3. Your entries may either be typed or hand written, so long as they are legible. Entries may be folded and put into a regular letter envelope. We do not require them to be mailed flat, as entries are not judged on presentation or quantity, but the quality of the poem itself. 4. We do not require a cover letter or a brief biography, however, if you wish to send these, you may. 5. You must be at least 13 years or older in order to enter this competition. 6. We accept previously published work so long as you yourself have maintained the rights to it. We also accept simultaneous submissions.

| Entry Fee The more you send, the more you may win! |
| There is a small fee to enter this competition. The entry fee is $1.00 per poem. All fees should be paid in the form of US funds. All entry fees will be put into a pot, so to speak, and the winning poet for each half receives what was brought in. Under no circumstances do these fees generate a profit on our behalf.You may submit as many poems to this competition as you like so long as the entry fee per poem is included. |
