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.
