Poetry is one of the most ancient and revered forms of creative expression, stretching back to the dawn of literature.<\/p>\n

Poets have utilized their talents in innumerable ways: to express the personal and political, to chip away at the ineffable, to conjure the sublime, and to delve into the most intimate and puzzling elements of the human experience.<\/p>\n

Poetry regularly undergoes thrilling evolutions and permutations, often mirroring emerging social movements, as poets seek to reimagine the form afresh for their age. Society frequently turns to poetry to understand itself.<\/p>\n

Excitingly, poets are now more popular than ever, in part due to the explosion of poetry in the digital sphere. The shorter form, consumable in a single sitting, being ideal for the fast paced demands of contemporary audiences.<\/p>\n

Poetry competitions represent a wonderful opportunity for emerging writers to demonstrate their ability and secure publication. They offer established writers an exciting arena in which to showcase new work and build their reputations. We believe in poetry, in literature, and in the importance and magic of new writing.<\/p>\n

The top three winning entries are declared the Winners, and share equally in the Prize pool of $800 USD. Each Winner’s entry is published, accompanied by its own attractive original commissioned artwork. There is a high likelihood the Winners will be included in the Letter Review Anthology. To recognize the extraordinary talent of the writers who do not place in the top three, twenty entries will be longlisted, and ten shortlisted. Offering further opportunities for writers, all entries are considered for publication.<\/p>\n

To raise the visibilty of our writers, Winners are considered for submission to the Pushcart Prize, other prestigious anthologies such as Best of the Net, and our end of year anthology.<\/p>\n

The Letter Review Prize is judged blind to ensure all entrants including emerging and diverse writers, along with established writers, have an equal chance of success. We do not assign entries to anonymous readers: Every entry is personally read by our highly qualified Judges. Winners are widely promoted on our social media channels (FB 34,000 members) and at our website (50,000 monthly visitors). Letter Review is a proud member of the international Community of Literary Magazines and Presses, and we adhere to the CLMP Contest Code of Ethics.<\/p>\n
