Poetry Ark Prize

  • The Poetry Ark Prize is chosen by your votes, with monetary prizes totaling over $2,000 awarded to the three top poems from our competition and their publishers.

    Throughout the year, your votes advance four poems from each Current Round to a single Qualifying Round. The Qualifying Round opens for voting on November 11, 2010. Your votes will advance 100 poems for the Poetry Ark Anthology, and all 100 poems will automatically compete in the final Prize Round.

    In addition to qualifying for the monetary prizes, the author of each poem qualifying for The Poetry Ark Anthology will receive a complimentary copy of the collection.

    Voting in the Prize Round will begin on December 03, 2010. Your final round of voting will determine the prize winners. The author of the first place winning poem will receive $1,000. Second place will receive $500, and third place $250. The publishers of each of the winning poems (if published or self-published) will receive $125 each.
