| Naomi Long Madgett Poetry Award | Updated October 14th, 2009 |
|
This competition is open to African American poets only. If you have already had a book published by Lotus Press, you are ineligible. However, inclusion in a Lotus Press anthology does not disqualify you. Any other serious African American poet, whether previously published or not, may submit a book length manuscript for consideration. Poems submitted by another person, anthologies, or collaborations by more than one poet are not eligible. The poems in the manuscript should total approximately 60‑90 pages, exclusive of a table of contents or other optional introductory material. Begin each poem on a new page, no matter how short it may be, and number the pages. Poems that have been published individually in periodicals or anthologies are acceptable, but we will not consider an entire collection that has been previously published, whether self‑published or not. Manuscripts entered in the Madgett competition may not be submitted to other publishers for general consideration but may be submitted to other competitions as long as you notify us that you have done so or plan to do so. If you are notified that your manuscript has won another competition, you MUST inform us of this immediately. Send two complete copies of your manuscript, typed or computer‑generated on white, letter‑size paper, with the pages consecutively numbered, to the address below. Do not include your name on any of the pages. Include with each copy a cover sheet which contains the title of the collection only and no other information. On one separate sheet of paper, list: (1) the title of the manuscript; (2) your name, address, telephone number(s) and e‑mail address, if you have one; and (3) a brief statement signed with your legal name, indicating that (a) all the poems in the collection are original and uncollected (not appearing in a published volume of your work) and (b) you are an African American. Enclose a stamped, self‑addressed post card so that we may acknowledge receipt of your material. Award entries must be received between January 2 and March 31, 2010. You will be notified of the winner's and the judges' names no later than June 1, 2010. The decision of the judges is final. The award winner will receive $500 in cash and publication of the manuscript by Lotus Press, Inc. early in 2011. send: Complete MS looking for: Poetry specifically: African-American |

| Toward the Light Annual Poetry Contest | Updated October 14th, 2009 |
|
Send poetry that sees in the dark. Personal poetry that integrates the power of light and dark in life, recognizing that neither is a permanent resting place, rather, together they stimulate movement and growth; never a final location. Wherever you are, ignite the fuse of light within you. Notice how darkness can make you wise. In celebration, struggle, joy, depression, transition, and achievement there is light and dark. Write that. We are not looking for rants or lists of profanity; we are looking for a sincere, multifaceted exploration of what it means to choose to grow toward the light. Format: Poetry (rhymed or free verse) up to 150 lines. Only entries written in English from Canada or the United States will be accepted at this time. Entry Fee : $28 Canadian for up to 3 poems. (includes a subscription to Toward the Light or a subscription extension) Each additional poem $7.00. All funds must be in Canadian currency. In Canada you can pay by cheque, money order or use your credit card with PayPal. Outside of Canada, you can pay with a bank draft in Canadian funds or use your credit card with PayPal. Deadline : must be received by April 1, 2010 All word submissions must be emailed as a Word document attached to the email. send: Complete MS looking for: Poetry specifically: General |
