$2000.00 First Place divided between author ($1,000.00) & a shelter program for the homeless ($1,000.00) plus publication 20 free copies; deep discounts on optional additionals

Identify author/address on cover page. Some poems may be previously published but not the collection as a whole. Include credits for those poems and assure that you own copyright or have obtained permission to reprint. Pudding House does not buy permissions. Include About the Author statement with publications bio. B&W cover images optional; cover is always up to the publisher but we like to see author suggestions/input (not ideas, but the actual art) if you’d
like. This will have no impact on competition results.

We often publish additional manuscripts among those entered. Judged by editor, Jennifer Bosveld, sometimes with editorial staff for finals.
