POETRY CONTEST.
$24,000.00 in Prizes!
The National Library of Poetry
to award 250 total prizes to
amateur poets in coming months
Owings Mills, Maryland — The National Library of Poetry has just announced that $24,000 in prizes will be awarded over the next 12 months in the North American Open Amateur Poetry Contest. The contest is open to everyone and entry is free.
“We’re especially looking for poems from new or unpublished poets,” indicated
Howard Ely, spokesperson for The National Library of Poetry, “we have a ten
year history of awarding large prizes to talented poets who have never before won
any type of writing competition.”
How To Enter
Anyone may enter the competition simply by sending in one original poem,
any subject, any style to:
The National Library of Poetry
11419 Cronridge Drive
P0 Box 704-1493
Owings Mills , MD 21117
The poem should be no more than 20 lines, and the poet’s name and address must
appear on the top of the page. “Each poem received will be acknowledged, usually within seven weeks,” indicated Mr. Ely.
Every poet who enters will receive an evaluation of their artistry by the judges.
Possible Publication
Many submitted poems will also be considered for inclusion in one of The
National Library of Poetry’s forthcoming hardbound anthologies. Previous
anthologies published by the organization have included, On the Threshold of a Dream, Days of Future’s Past, Of Diamonds and Rust, and Moments More to Go, among others.
“Our anthologies routinely sell out because they are truly enjoyable reading,”
added Ely, “and they are also a sought-after source-book for poetic talent by the publishers, recording companies, and the media.”
