The time is here to start thinking about submitting to the NCPS 2012 Poetry Contests! February 1, 2012 is our deadline, and that may seem like a long way away, but time flies.
The NC Poetry Society has two categories of contests:
- our Adult Contests (find the guidelines here).
- our Student Contests, which includes students grade 3 all the way up to university undergraduates (find those guidelines here).
Winners and honorable mentions of all of our contests receive a free copy of Pinesong, our annual awards anthology book, and an invitation to read at the Awards Day meeting, on May 19, 2012 in Southern Pines.
Submission to all of these contests is completely free for NCPS Members (except for the Poet Laureate Award, which is still a bargain at $5), and reasonably-priced for non-members. So go ahead and dig out your favorite poems to submit. You never know which one might be a winner!
We also sponsor the Brockman-Campbell Book Award for books published in 2011. You can read the guidelines on the Brockman-Campbell page, here. Entries for this award are due on May 1, 2012.
