November is the last month to enter the third Cyclamens and
Swords Poetry Contest.
Submissions close
November 30th!
http://cyclamensandswords.com/contest.php
Contest Guidelines:
What to submit - This is an open contest for poetry of any
style or theme. Your entry should be your own original work.
You may submit the same poem(s) simultaneously to this
contest and others and you may submit poems that have been
published elsewhere, as long as you own the online
publication rights.
Entry fee - $5 for one poem, $10 for 3 poems, $15 for 6
poems.
Length - Not to exceed 30 lines length (excluding title and
spaces
between stanzas).
Prizes - First prize $300, second prize $100, third prize
$50 and
seven honorable mentions. Winning poems and honorable
mentions will
be published in our winter issue . A chapbook containing
these
poems will be published and presented to the winners in
addition to
their cash prize.
Judges - Patrick Osada, Helen Bar-Lev and Johnmichael Simon.
We
believe that our system of having three judges working
independently
and by then combining and averaging the three scores is the
best and
fairest way of giving every entry an unbiased chance of
winning a
prize. Poems, of course, are judged anonymously.
The Theme for our December Issue is SUPERNATURAL
