● Entry fee is $15 for each batch of 3- to 5-single-spaced pages of unpublished poems submitted under one category; or $10 per entry (one category) for current or new members of Writers-Editors Network.
● Note: Poems are not judged individually, but the full entry of 3 to 5 pages will be judged overall as a "body of work."
