• Submit 15-30 pages of poetry with a $15 entry fee by May 15, 2024.
  • ​Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please let us know if the chapbook is accepted elsewhere.
  • Multiple submissions are also fine, but each chapbook must be submitted separately.
  • It’s okay if individual poems have been previously published (or if they are accepted over the course of the contest), but the arrangement of poems must be an original work.
  • Submissions are read blind, so please don’t include your name or other identifying information anywhere on the manuscript.
  • An acknowledgements page is welcome but not required.
  • Past or present students of Pittsburg State University and individuals directly connected to the judge are not eligible to submit.
