Allan Ginsberg Poetry Awards 2008

The Poetry Center at Passaic Community College is sponsoring this contest honoring Allan Ginsberg's contribution to American literature. Fortunately, they're asking us not to submit poems that imitate Allan Ginsberg's work ;) Previously unpublished poems should be postmarked by April 1, 2008. First prize is $1000, 2nd prize is $200, 3rd prize is $100, and winners will be asked to participate in a reading in the Patterson Historic District in NJ. So if you're geographically mobile and want some extra incentive to visit your relatives back east, send up to 5 poems plus a $15 submission fee to the address listed on their website.
