The California State Poetry Society offers monthly poetry contests. This contest is open to all poets, whether or not they are members of the CSPS. Reading fees are $1.50 per poem with a $3.00 minimum for members and $3.00 per poem with a $6.00 minimum for non-members.
You’ll need to register on the website to submit to the monthly contest. Entries must be postmarked during the month of the contest in which they are entered on the right-hand side of the Home page. It is free to register. Or you may submit entries via postal mail by following the instructions on the Contests tab. Except in extraordinary circumstances, we don’t take submissions by email for the contests.

For pools of $100 or more, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners receive $50, $10 and $5, respectively. All of the winners for the year are listed in the first CSPS Newsbriefs of the following year.
