Harvest International welcomes poetry submissions in any language

Deadline: 15 June 2012

In celebration of cultural unity and respect, Harvest International welcomes poetry submissions in any language. International contributors are welcomed to submit as well.

Each issue, Harvest International awards two poetry prizes:

  • Steve Whaley Poetry Prize — $200 — to the U. S. contributor whose poetry most eloquently expresses the human condition while promoting greater awareness of human interrelatedness.
  • Other Voices Poetry Prize — $200 — awarded by Roger Humes to the international contributor whose poetry best fulfills the above criteria.

Submitted poems are automatically entered for consideration into their appropriate contest.

The winner must provide tax ID number or social security number, signature, and full legal name in order to receive payment from Cal Poly Pomona Foundation. The recipient has the right to refuse payment.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Harvest International is seeking original, unpublished poetry, short fiction, song lyrics, essays, and black and white artwork from children and adults.
