Although there is a $20 entry fee, the grand prize includes $1,000 plus book publication by Kore Press--not bad! The contest calls for a book-length poetry manuscript (between 48 and 70 pages) and is open to any female writer who has not yet published a full-length collection of poetry. Original poetry only--no translations. The prize is tantalizing and the competition will be fierce; writers who have had chapbooks of less than 42 pages printed in editions of no more than 400 copies are still eligible. So, use the next two weeks to dust off those pages and give them a pretty face--the deadline is July 31, 2009.
