There are many pitfalls involved in attempting to win a poetry contest. However, if you know where to look, there are many reputable poetry contests that do offer legitimate awards and prizes. Also, it is rare for an individual to receive a grant, let alone a grant for poetry, but we have collected the very best links we could find to guide you in the right direction. While we try to keep our databases up to date, invariably dead links do pop up. Please let us know and we will remove them.
