Write a poem and win the $1,000. Hollywood’s Famous Poets Society is sponsoring a new poetry contest, open to everyone. There is no entry fee, and nothing to buy.
To enter send one poem of 21 lines or less: Free Poetry Contest, 1626 N Wilcox Ave. #126, Hollywood, Calif., 90028. Or enter online at www.famouspoets.com.
“This is our big contest of the year,” said executive director Mark Schramm. “We trust our prizes will encourage new poets, even the shyest out there, to share their talent. We delight in discovering new poets and think that Santa Monica has its share of talent to draw from.”
The deadline for entering is Feb. 19. A winner’s list will be sent to all entrants. Editors reserve the right to publish winning poems online or in a pamphlet.
