Foundation announces its 2010 Poetry Contest, "Beyond Borders." Results of the

GUIDELINES
The Jane's Stories
Poetry Award from Jane's Stories Press Foundation will be awarded to the best
poem submitted and received by March 1, 2010. Previously unpublished poems of any length or style written
in English by women are eligible.
Entries should speak to the contest theme, "Beyond
Borders." The Foundation has
a special interest in work by and about women, and is seeking writing which
addresses resolving conflicts and boundary issues.
A First Prize of $100
will be awarded. A Second Prize of
$50 and two Third Prizes of $25 each will also be awarded. All winning poems
and authors will be
featured on our we site, wwwjanesstories.org. Authors also grant JSPF reprint rights to publish winning
entries in its next anthology.
An entry fee of $10
for 3 poems must accompany each submission. Include $3 for each additional poem submitted beyond the
first 3, up to a limit of 5 poems.
Enclose an SASE for notification and a list of the winners or request
email notification to a valid email address. All entries will be recycled rather than returned. Submissions
accepted October 1, 2009
through March 1, 2010.
IMPORTANT:
Enclose a separate sheet including your
name, address, email address, and phone number and a list of the poems
submitted. Do not put your name
on the poem itself. The title
of each poem should appear at the top of the page. Entries without SASEs or valid email addresses will not be
considered. Entries that arrive
