POL Prize
Since 1999, Poets Out Loud has sponsored an annual competition for a full-length poetry manuscript, published each spring by Fordham University Press. The POL Prize awards $1,000, publication by Fordham University Press, and a reading by the winning poet and judge in the POL series at Fordham's Lincoln Center Campus. In addition, since 2010 the series has expanded to include an Editor's Prize, which awards publication and a POL reading to the winning poet.
