Marick Press Poetry Prize

The First Annual Marick Press Poetry Prize Competition

The First Annual Marick Press Poetry Prize competition will open for submissions on March 1, 2009. The award consists of a $1,000 cash award and publication by Marick Press.

Manuscripts must be between 48 and 80 pages in length. Poems must be original, but may have appeared in magazines, anthologies, or chapbooks. Translations are not eligible for this competition. The competition is open to all poets writing in English.

Manuscripts must be postmarked by October 15, 2009. They should be typed and should include a table of contents. The author’s name, address, email address, and telephone number should appear on the cover sheet only. Manuscripts will not be returned and will be recycled at the end of the competition. Please include a self-addressed, stamped, business-size envelope with your submission if you wish to be notified of the results.

Manuscripts are screened by the editorial staff, and the Marick Press Poetry Prize 2009 will be judged by Alicia Ostriker. The winner of the Marick Press Poetry Prize will be announced March 15, 2010.
