Omnidawn Poetry Book Contest
This contest is open to all writers worldwide with no limitations on the amount of poetry a writer has published. We recommend submissions should be 40–120 pages of poetry, not including front and back matter. (Most manuscripts we receive are 40-80 pages long.) Colleagues, students, and close friends of the judge, John Yau, are not eligible. Online entries must be received and postal entries must be postmarked between July 1 and August 16, 2021 at midnight Pacific Daylight Time. Reading fee is $27.
For $3 extra to cover shipping cost, entrants who provide a U.S. mailing address may choose to receive this contest's winning book or any current Omnidawn book. A complete list of all current Omnidawn poetry books is available at www.omnidawn.com/titles . The 2021 winner will be announced to our Email list and on this web page in February 2022, and we expect to publish the winning book in April 2023.
