WRITERS' Journal Poetry Contest

If the Writer's Digest contests have too steep of an entry fee, check out the WRITERS' Journal Poetry Contest.  The entry fee is much more reasonable at $3 per poem, but you won't get any books to sweeten the deal.  There are three prizes: $50, $25, and $15.  The winners and honorable mentions will be published in WRITERS' Journal.  Unpublished poems up to 25 lines long can be entered, with no restrictions on form, style, or theme.  This contest is run quarterly, and the next deadline is August 30th.
