Our Mission
Our mission is to highlight the healing and empowering benefits of poetry, showcasing its ability to inspire change and unite communities. Whether you are an emerging or established poet, this contest offers a unique opportunity to step into the spotlight and make an impact through your words. No more hiding behind the pen. Step into the spotlight. This. Is. Your. Time.
Poetry contests help to:
Boost Credibility: Winning or placing in a poetry contest adds credibility to a poet's work. Credibility boosts a poet's portfolio, helping them secure other opportunities like publishing deals.
Exposure: Many contests feature winners in anthologies, websites, or social media, providing poets with a wider visibility they didn't have before. This visibility leads to paid opportunities.
Skill Development: The themes and prompts of contests push poets to explore new topics and refine their craft. Our deadlines also foster productivity to encourage poets to complete and polish their work on time.
