2018 Chapbook deadline nearing on October 31
THEME: Hunger and Yearning
Hunger denied and yearnings fulfilled. What do your mind, soul, body ache for?
We encourage you to interpret the theme BROADLY. It's said that every character has to want something, even if it's only a glass of water. The theme is about those wants and whether they're fulfilled or not.
Need idea starters on the theme? Take a look at the judge's suggestions on our chapbook page.
Download the guidelines and send your entry by Oct. 31, 2017. Please use the guidelines on the website and not those in the April newsletter, as those were incomplete.
Chapbook contest open to WyoPoets members. If you're not a member, please join us! You may send your $20 membership fee separately to our treasurer, or include it with your submission. Questions? Contact wyopoets@gmail.com.
