The Rules
- Entries must be submitted using an online form, between January 1 and February 28, 2013.
- Each poet may submit no more than one poem.
- Poems must be unpublished and original content.
- Poems must be suitable for a general audience.
- Poems must be submitted in a Word document, no longer than one column on an 8.5 x 11 page in length, and typed in at least a 12pt font.
