The winner Omnidawn’sPoetry Chapbook Contest wins an immediate cash prize of $1,000, publication of the book by Omnidawn with a full-color cover (unless the author prefers black and white), 100 free copies of the winning book, and extensive display advertising and publicity.

This contest is open to all writers worldwide with no limitations on the amount of poetry a writer has published. Omnidawn recommends submissions of 20–40 pages of poetry, not including front and back matter. Keep in mind that this is intended to fit in a 5.5 x 7 inch published chapbook of approximately 60 pages or less, although you can submit on standard 8.5 x 11 inch pages, and we will format to fit the smaller size.

Colleagues, students, and close friends of the judge, Tongo Eisen-Martin, are not eligible.

None of the poems in the winning chapbook may be published in another published book for at least one year after Omnidawn publishes the winning chapbook. Online entries must be received and postal entries must be postmarked between May 1 and June 24, 2019 at midnight Pacific Standard Time. Reading fee is $18.
