Hello poets and writers,

We weren’t able to include these exciting opportunities in Monday’s newsletter as they arrived just after it went out—but we didn’t want you to miss them!

Here’s a special update from NewPages with two new poetry submission calls you’ll want to check out:

The 2025 Barrow Street Poetry Contest is now open for submissions, and we are absolutely thrilled to share that this year’s judge is John Murillo. Our winner will receive $1500 and publication with Barrow Street Press. An additional manuscript will also be chosen for publication as the winner of our Editors' Prize. All entries are considered for publication. Deadline is June 30, 2025. Enter here.

The Coniston Prize

Deadline: August 1, 2025
Radar Poetry is now open to submissions for the 12th annual Coniston Prize, judged by Diane Seuss! The Coniston Prize recognizes an exceptional group of poems by a woman writing in English. Any poet who identifies as a woman is eligible. The winner will receive $1,000, and up to 10 finalists will be awarded $175. The winner and finalists’ poems will also be published in the prize issue.

We hope these opportunities inspire your next submission.
Have a wonderful rest of your week!
