We’re excited to announce a poetry contest this spring, and will share more information and where to submit soon.

Prizes: first place $500, second place $300, third place $100, all published in TRP. Winners will read their work in person or via Zoom at the End Paper Festival at the North Carolina Museum of Art in September 2025. The first-place poem will also have a broadside made by a letterpress artist, which will be for sale at the festival and entered into End Paper’s broadside competition. We particularly encourage submissions written in response to one of the over 16,000 works in the NCMA’s permanent collection, which may be viewed online here.

The competition is open to all poets writing in English. We look forward to reading your work.
