No previously published writings will be accepted. Shorter works are encouraged. Submit each poem on a separate page, although one cover letter is sufficient. Do not place name or identifying symbol on your submissions. This helps the judges in nonpartisan selections.
All works submitted have a chance of being selected.
Number all pages. Trim all computer papers. Use a fresh ribbon on typewriter or printer and send clear, clean copies. Please proofread or have someone proofread before submissions. Enclose a SASE for notification of judges' decisions.
