Submission Guidelines

We are so excited to welcome submissions for our first poetry contest! All poetry will be considered for publication, but there will only be one prize winner. The theme for this contest is World Events/State of The World. This theme is purposefully broad. We wanted it to be a space for poets to think through what is happening around us. Hopefully this can be cathartic for someone of you. ONE POEM PER SUBMISSION, PLEASE!

 There is a $3 submission fee for poetry submissions and short story submissions, which helps us award prizes when applicable, pay our readers, and manage website and operational costs. Deadline is 03/14/26 @ 11:59 pm! The winner will be announced and published on World Poetry Day 3/21/26.
