The Poet’s Billow offers three awards: The Atlantis Award for a single poem, the Pangaea Prize for a series of seven poems, and the Bermuda Triangle Prize for three poems on a theme.
We choose from these awards our nominations for the Pushcart Prize, Best of the Net Anthology, and The Best New Poets Anthology.
Guidelines:
Our contest entries will be read blindly, your name and contact information should not appear on the poems themselves. For general submissions, you may have identifying information.
Simultaneous submissions are accepted as long as you send a message through Submittable that a poem needs to be withdrawn.
Multiple submissions are allowed with a paid submission fee for each set of three poems.
Please do not submit previously published work. We would like the first Serial Rights. After publication, all rights will revert back to the author.
