The Adirondack Review and Black Lawrence Press are pleased to celebrate National Poetry Month with the establishment of The Fiddlehead Poetry Prize, to be awarded once each year for a previously unpublished poem.
The winner will receive $300 and publication in The Adirondack Review. Entrants whose poems receive honorable mention will also have their poems published in
The Adirondack Review. In addition, they will be awarded an honorarium of $30.
Guidelines: Entrants may submit up to three original, unpublished poems. (Poems must not have been previously published in either print or on-line publications). Poems must be sent pasted into the body of an e-mail. Entry fee is $5.00 for one poem, $8.00 for two poems, and $10.00 for three poems. Simultaneous submissions are accepted if we are notified immediately should they be accepted for publication elsewhere. Entrants may pay on-line with PayPal to the right.
Submissions will be judged by The Adirondack Review editors.
Nota bene: the editors reserve the right to award no prizes at contest end if none of the submissions meet their standards. If this happens, the contest will be extended one month at a time until the judges decide on a winner.
Submissions should be sent to fiddleheadprize@blacklawrencepress.com with name, address, phone number, and e-mail address included. Be sure to title your email "FIDDLEHEAD PRIZE SUBMISSION".
All submissions must be sent electronically. Absolutely no exceptions. Contest entries will not be read until the entry fee is received and stories have been received at fiddleheadprize@blacklawrencepress.com .
Contest deadline: May 1, 2007. Winners will be announced during the summer. Prize(s) will be awarded in conjunction with the publication of Volume VIII, No. 3 of The Adirondack Review (Fall 2007).
