2011 Georgetown Review Poetry Manuscript Contest
Submission Guidelines
We will consider only original collections of poems written in English. (You may include individual poems that have appeared elsewhere.) Students, colleagues, and close friends of Denise Duhamel (the 2011 judge), and current students and employees of Georgetown College are not eligible.
One winning manuscript will be awarded a $1000 prize, publication of the book, and 20 author's copies.
Manuscripts should be typewritten, single-spaced, and between 48 and 80 pages long. No more than one poem should appear on a page. A clean and legible manuscript is recommended. Do not send your only copy of the manuscript since manuscripts are not returned. We assume no responsibility for damaged or lost manuscripts. All submissions must be accompanied by a $20 entry fee. Please make your check out to "Georgetown College."
Submit two title pages for the collection. The author's name, address, daytime phone number, and email address should appear on the first title page only, along with an acknowledgment listing poems published elsewhere. The author's name should appear nowhere else in the manuscript. The second title page should only include the title of the collection.
ALL ENTRIES MUST BE POSTMARKED BY FEBRUARY 1st, 2011. (USPS Priority Mail is preferred.)
