Poetry-in-Motion Writing Contest
Prize: $1,000.00. Entry fee: $25.00. Deadline: 02-29-2012.
Geoffrey Owens, from The Cosby Show, and RisingStar31 Productions have teamed up to launch the first Poetry-in-Motion Writing Contest, an initiative to showcase the literary works of talented writers. The theme is, “Holidays and Special Events, Past and Present.”
Geoffrey, a Shakespearean actor, instructor, and talented poet, has created an exciting new selection of poetry-filled, on-line greeting cards, and brings a wealth of experience to the venture. He will be the judge who selects the winning writer from the ten finalists.
The writer should submit one sonnet or a poem that is similar in structure.
The winner is awarded a $1,000 Prize and publication in our future RisingStar31 e-Magazine and Web site.
Eligibility: Poets writing in English, who either have or haven’t already published a poem. Simultaneous submissions are fine, however, please inform us if there’s a change in your poem’s status.
Deadline: February 29, 2012 (Special Leap Year Date)
Entry Fee: $25.00 (to cover reading fees)
Announcement: Winner will be notified by March 31, 2012.
Check the Web site for winner information, or send a SASE with the wording “Results.”
Submissions: Electronic submissions are encouraged, however, writers can mail poems, along with a check or money order to:
RisingStar31 Productions
P.O. Box 53371
Sarasota, FL 34232
Mailed entries must include a cover sheet with writer’s name, address, e-mail and phone number and be attached to the poem. Please do not place your name on the sheet with the poem. Poems should be printed, double-spaced, with 10-12 font size. Send only a copy; do not mail your only copy, as all materials will be recycled unless return is requested with SASE.
