Dear Friends of Eretz,
The Songs of Eretz Poetry Award Contest
will begin September 1 and end October 15 this year. THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE A ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR CASH PRIZE and publication in Songs of Eretz Poetry Review. Both unpublished work and previously published work (reprints) will be accepted. Follow this link to view the Contest Guidelines: http://eretzsongs.blogspot.com/p/songs-of-eretz.html.
As a run-up to the contest, every weekday for the rest of August the Review will feature a poem by Contest Judge Former Kansas Poet Laureate Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg http://eretzsongs.blogspot.com/p/about-our-editor-frequent-contributors.html and a poem by the Editor in addition to a Poem of the Day. By doing so, it is hoped that those interested in tailoring their contest submissions to the styles and tastes of the Contest Judge and Editor will have ample opportunity to examine the poetry of the Judge and the poetry and preferences of the Editor.
Can't wait to enter the contest? Early entries (entries received before September 1) WILL be honored. However, early entries will not receive a response before September 1.

The annual contest is the only
fundraiser for Songs of Eretz and is your opportunity to offer your financial
support for our e-zine and our mission.
In return, the Editor will read and provide personal feedback for every
single poem that is entered--from a few kind words to a mini-critique. The award of a one thousand dollar cash
prize will be given to recognize one outstanding poet, and offers for
publication in the Review will honor
several more. Those rare honors
notwithstanding, it is hoped that all contestants will feel good about
receiving editorial feedback on their work and for supporting the unique
offerings and mission of Songs of Eretz regardless of whether they win or lose.
Unlike other contest venues, the Songs
of Eretz Poetry Award Contest accepts both unpublished work and reprints. Furthermore, entries are responded to
on a rolling basis--we do not wait until the end of the contest to respond--so
enter early and enter often! The
Editor looks forward to reading your poems, and Caryn looks forward to reading
those that make the finals.
Kind regards,
Steve
