Dear Friends,
Please note the following correction to my previous email regarding The Spoon River Poetry Review's Editors' Prize Contest (this year's entry fee is $16.00, not $15.00):
"We are also accepting submissions now for our annual Editors' Prize Contest (up to three poems; single long poems welcome; 10 pages max). Winner receives $1000 & publication; two runners-up receive $100 each and publication; 3-5 honorable mentions receive publication. Postmark deadline is extended this year, to accommodate the transition of editorship, until May 1, 2010. The $16.00 reading fee includes a one-year subscription"
If you have not yet forwarded my previous email to poets you know, please kindly revise this bit before doing so. If you have already forwarded the info., I'd be grateful to you for forwarding this email as well. I am sorry for the confusion! The information on the website is correct.
Thank you, Kirstin
