Publishers seek original poetry contest stories Atlantic Press, the New York and London book publishers have invited students to enter their original poems lor the 1973 "Poets of the Year" Awards. This is the world's most valuable poetry contest and it is open to writers in all parts of the world with ten awards totalling $12,000 in prize money. First prize is for $7,200. In 1971 the coveted title of "Poet of the Year" was won by an Irishman and last year the first prize was presented to an English poet. The likelihood of an American writer taking the first place in the 1973 contest is good because a special effort is being made by the sponsors to attract many more entries from the USA, reported the recent news release. All styles of poetry will be considered and there is no restriction on subject matter. If possible, entries should not be longer than 40 lines. Poems and requests for entry forms and fuller details should be sent to: Atlantic Press (Awards), 520 Fifth Avenue. New York, NY 10036.
