Do you write poetry and need extra cash? If so, enter the Friendly Poets Society’s latest poetry competition. There is a $1,000 grand prize and 49 other prizes totaling nearly $4,000.
The contest is seeking poems on any subject, using any style, with a life-affirming inspirational theme.
“We think inspirational poems can motivate people to achieve their dreams,” said contest director Lavender Augulis. “We’re especially looking to inspire amateur poets and we think this competition will accomplish that.”
The contest is open and free to the public. To enter, send one poem 21 lines or less to Lavender Augulis, Poetry Contest, 2255 N. University Parkway, Suite 15, #196, Provo, Utah 84604; or go to www.friendlypoets.com and enter online.
The deadline for entering is Nov. 29. A winner’s list will be sent to all entrants. The editors reserve the right to publish the winning poems.
