Your Poem Can Win $3,500, Publication, and an Original Illustration
Tom Howard/Margaret Reid Poetry Contest
To enhance the presentation of our Tom Howard/Margaret Reid Poetry Contest winners, we commission original artwork to go with their poems. This is an extra benefit of winning and incurs no expense on the poet's part. Please enjoy selected illustrations below.
This year's contest will award the Tom Howard Prize of $3,500 for a poem in any style or genre, and the Margaret Reid Prize of $3,500 for a poem that rhymes or has a traditional style. Ten Honorable Mentions will receive $500 each (any style). The top 12 entries will be published online. The top two winners will also receive two-year gift certificates from our co-sponsor, Duotrope.
Submit three poems for one $25 entry fee. Both published and unpublished poems are welcome. Enter online via Submittable. Poets from most countries are eligible. Length limit per poem: 250 lines. Deadline: October 1.
Winning Writers is one of the "101 Best Websites for Writers" (Writer's Digest, 2025).
