Member-Sponsored Prose Poem Contest

Member-Sponsored Prose Poem Contest

Details

Deadline:Mar 30, 2015
Fee:Free

Unbroken Journal is a new journal that publishes prose poems and poetic prose, and we’d love to stir up some new prose poetry here on Scrib.

While prose poems are usually on the shorter side, entries can be anything up to Scrib’s 3,000 word limit, in unlineated prose poem format. If you’re not sure what that means, you can go to our current issue and read some of the poems there.

We publish bimonthly, and the 1st place winner will be published in our May/June issue.

If you’d like to find out more about unbroken and our submission guidelines, please visit http://unbrokenjournal.com.
