"Any poet, whether previously published or not, can
be a winner," stated Pamela Roberts, contest director. "When people
learn about our free poetry contest, they suddenly realize that
their own poetic works of art can win cash prizes, as well as gain
national recognition."
To enter, send one original poem, any subject
and any style to The International Library of Poetry, Suite 19925, 1
Poetry Plaza, Owings Mills, MD 21117. The poem should be 20 lines or

the page. Entries must be postmarked or sent via the Internet by
June 30. You may enter online at
