Poetry Contest Submissions
Ends on
Thank you for your interest in submitting poetry to the Terrain.org 16h Annual Contest, judged by Blas Falconer. You may view our full submission guidelines at www.terrain.org/submit/contest-guidelines.
Submission deadline: Labor Day, Monday, September 1, 2025, 11:59 p.m.
$20 entry fee per poem set (up to 5 poems). $1,000 grand prize. $200 for finalists. All poems are considered for publication.
Submit 1-5 poems per entry, maximum of 7 pages total. Combine all poems into a single document.
For poetry, we are seeking a single poem or set of poems to select as the contest winner. Submitted documents must contain only the poem title(s) and poem(s) without the author name or contact information (including in the document header/footer/summary).
All poems must be previously unpublished. Simultaneous submissions are just fine; please notify us by sending a message through Submittable if you are withdrawing a single poem.
