Stan and Tom Wick Poetry Prize
This prize is offered annually to a poet who has not previously published a full-length collection of poems. The prize awards the winner with $2,000 and publication of his or her first full-length book of poetry by the Kent State University Press. The winner and the competition's judge will give a reading together on the Kent State campus. The 2010 winner was The Local World by Mira Rosenthal, chosen by Maggie Anderson.
Entry requirements:
* The competition is open to poets writing in English who have not yet published a full-length collection of poems (a volume of 50 or more pages published in an edition of 500 or more copies).
* There is a $20 reading fee. Checks should be made payable to the Wick Poetry Center.
* Submissions must consist of 50 to 70 pages of poetry, typed on one side only, with no more than one poem included on a page. Only clean, legible copies are acceptable.
* The poet's name is not to appear on the manuscript. Two title pages should be included. The first must include the poet's name, address, e-mail, telephone number, and the title of the manuscript; the second should list the title of the manuscript only. Entries are judged anonymously.
* The manuscript may be submitted simultaneously to other publishers, but the poet must notify the Wick Poetry Center immediately if the manuscript is accepted for publication elsewhere.
* All manuscripts will be recycled after judging. For notice that the manuscript has been received, enclose a self-addressed, stamped postcard. For notice of the winning selection, enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope. The winner will be announced late in the summer of 2011.
* Manuscripts must be postmarked between February 1, 2011, and May 2, 2011. No late entries will be read.
