UW Press poetry contests

University of Wisconsin Press's Brittingham Prize in Poetry and Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry open on Sept. 1. Deadline for both contests: Oct. 1.

From their web site: These prizes, each consisting of a $1,000 cash award and publication by the Press, are awarded annually to the two best book-length manuscripts of original poetry submitted in an open competition. Each manuscript submitted will be considered for both prizes. There are no restrictions on the kind of poetry or subject matter, although translations are not acceptable. The winners will be announced and the prizes awarded in February of each calendar year, with publishing contracts to follow soon thereafter.
