Poetry Submission Guidelines

UNFORTUNATELY, OUR 2019 POETRY SUBMISSIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED. THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED.
PLEASE CHECK BACK LATER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NEXT POETRY CONTEST. THANK YOU.


We're excited to announce the launch of our new poetry competition! The rules below are required to be a candidate. This is a family-friendly competition. There can only be one winner for each competition and only one submission per person. If you are discovered submitting multiple poems, you will be disqualified.

The winning poet will be emailed and receive a $25 Amazon e-Gift Card, and his/her poem will be published on our website and posted on social media in a uniquely made graphic. This graphic must be approved by the winning poet before we are able to send the e-Gift Card. We will email the honorable mention and post his/her poem online in a uniquely made graphic of our choosing. All rights revert to all poets after postings.

Poetry submissions will close by July 1, 2019. The winner will be announced
by July 31, 2019.

Don't:
1. Don’t be offensive or use vulgar language.
2. Don’t be hateful toward others.
3. Don’t use real names of people you know if you write them into your poem.
4. We will not accept poems with terribly graphic imagery. (Some graphic content, like mentioning blood, is acceptable.)
5. We do not tolerate pornographic imagery. Period.
 
Do:
1. Your poem must be understandable to a general audience and must stand on its own without explanation.
2. We welcome poetry that is deep in emotion or the like if it can be easily understood.
3. We welcome creativity in your poetry and thoughts or ideas never heard before.
4. We welcome inspirational poetry, light-hearted poetry, poetry that teaches important lessons and the like.

This competition is supposed to be fun, so we hope you enjoy it as much as we will!
