Our Open Competition is now open. We have received all of our magazine and writing program nominations have contacted the nominated poets on how to upload their work.
Best New Poets
Each February, we contact
writing programs and literary magazines and send them instructions on
how to nominate their writers. Programs and magazines have until April 15 to make nominations; after that date, we contact their nominated poets and ask those writers to upload work during our April 15 to June 1 submission window. So, if you've just had a poem published in a magazine or are enrolled in a creative writing program, you might consider asking them to nominate you.
If you don't receive a program or magazine nomination, there's also the Open Internet Competition, which is open to all writers who have not published a book-length collection of poetry. Unlike the free magazine and program nominations, the Open Competition requires a reading fee of $3.50. All poems are submitted online through ManuscriptHub.com. That system will take entries for Best New Poets 2009 from April 15 to June 1, 2009.
