ABR's inaugural poetry prize
Australia boasts several worthy poetry prizes, but the inaugural ABR Poetry Prize is one of the most lucrative: the author of the winning poem will earn $2000. The other shortlisted poems will each receive $200, as well as being published in the March 2005 issue – one month before we announce the winner. Often, in poetry competitions, suites of poems are eligible, and the effect can be to privilege a group of poems over the shorter, discrete poem. Our prize is limited to a single poem of no more than 100 lines. Poets are invited to enter as many works as they like. Once again, ABR subscribers receive a $10 discount off the entry fee. Guidelines and entry form appear on page 17. (You can also download them from our website.) Entries close on December 15, so we know how our three judges will be spending the summer.
