Here are the details:
-The Source Weekly Poetry Contest window will open March 13 and closes March 26.
-This year’s theme is “Imagination.”
-Submit up to five poems, 30 lines max. Email your submissions to editor@bendsource.com with the title “Poetry Contest” in the subject line.
-Include your name, phone and email in the email you submit with your poems, but do NOT put your name on the poems themselves. Each poem should be its own PDF document; don’t combine poems into one document.
-Youth entries should be labeled “Youth” at the top of the document so we can sort those as youth entries. Contest is open to Oregon-based poets only. Thanks!
Winning poems will be published in the 4/18 issue of the Source Weekly, and winners will be contacted several days prior to publication. Prizes will be awarded courtesy of the Deschutes Public Library!
Hard copies of poems can be dropped off at the Source Weekly (704 NW Georgia Ave., Bend) 9-5 Mon-Fri through March 26.
Also, be sure to take part in ALL of the Poetry Month events! Check them out:
