31 March 2013 Contest Entry Deadline Fast Approaching
One example of our theme. What does “milestone” mean to you?
unFold, our poetry Twitter-zine, is about to post its 1000th tweet. To choose this tweet, we’re holding a poetry contest. The theme is “milestones.” Throughout the month of March, send in your tweet-sized poems that relate to the “milestones” theme. Our poetry editor, Rose Auslander, will select ten shortlist poems which will then be posted on the unFold blog mid-April. The winner will be selected by Matthew Lippman, author of The New Year of Yellow (winner of the Kathryn A. Morton Poetry Prize), American Chew (winner of the 2012 Burnside Review Book Prize), Monkey Bars, and a recipient of the 2010 Jerome J. Shestack Prize (by American Poetry Review). On 30 April 2013, the winning poem will be posted on the unFold Twitter stream, with illustrated versions made into a video on YouTube and printed on promotional postcards. The winning poet will receive 25 copies of the promotional postcard.
There is NO ENTRY FEE. To submit:
Whether or not you enter the contest, we hope you’ll pop by the unFold Twitter stream at the end of April to see our 1000th tweet in all its multi-media glory.
