Submissions are currently open for the Frontier Poetry Chapbook Contest. A prize of $2,000 and digital publication by Frontier Poetry is given annually for a poetry chapbook by an emerging writer.

Using the online submission system [1], submit an original manuscript of 10 to 30 pages with a $20 entry fee by March 15. Poets with more than two published full-length collections are ineligible.

The judges are looking for poems that “express both traditional excellence in craft and a willing fearlessness in content and form.” Poets previously published in Frontier include Tiana Clark [2], Chelsea Dingman [3], and Momtaza Mehri [4].

Visit the contest website [5] for complete guidelines, and check out our Grants & Awards database [6] and Submission Calendar [7] for more upcoming contests in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.
