All contests are currently for mailing list members only.
We do not pick winners from poets displayed here at the Shadow Poetry website in the Poets A-Z archive or the Message Boards. We do not hand out cash awards for our contests, only certificates. Poem of the Week is selected from all poems posted to the Shadow Poetry mailing list during the week. Winners are announced every Monday morning. The author of the winning poem will receive a certificate and a frameable copy of their poem.
