Complete Guidelines:
Spirit First is pleased to announce its 11th Annual Meditation Poetry Contest. Poetry submissions may be of any length and any style but must have a theme of Meditation or Mindfulness. Poems may reflect any discipline, any faith, or none. Poems must be previously unpublished. Poems not on the themes of meditation, mindfulness, stillness, or sacred silence will not be included in this meditation poetry event.
Enter up to three submissions. Poems beyond three submissions will not be considered.
Please
submit your poems by email unless you do not have access to the Internet. Poems
will be accepted by U.S. Postal Service for those who do not have access to
sending through the Internet. All others are requested to be emailed. Poems
sent by U.S. Postal Service will not be returned. Poems must be received by March 31, 2020.
Please
submit your poems all in one file or
inside the body of an email (rather than three poems in three separate
files). Please do not send your
poem(s) in a PDF (formatting and spacing are lost if your poem is sent in a
PDF). Be sure to include
the author's name, address, telephone number, and email address. There is no
cost to enter this contest. Submissions must be received no later than March 31, 2020. Please note: We are sorry to say we are unable to provide personal
evaluations/reviews of individual poems.
Winners will be announced on or around July 31, 2020. Winning
poems will be published on the Spirit First website at www.spiritfirst.org,
the Spirit
First Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/thespiritfirstgroup,
the Spirit
First blog at http://spiritfirst.blogspot.com/,
and in a Spirit First newsletter (authors retain full rights to their
poems).
