The next deadline for the Amy Award competition is coming up on June 1. "The Amy Award is presented to women poets age 30 and under living in the New York City metropolitan area or on Long Island. Winners receive an honorarium and a reading in New York City. The award was established in 1995 by Paula Trachtman and Edward Butscher of East Hampton, New York in memory of Ms. Trachtman’s daughter, Amy Rothholz, an actor and poet." There is no application fee indicated. Click here for more information.

June 1 is also the submission deadline for Poets Eleven, a citywide poetry contest that will feature readings at branch libraries throughout San Francisco. "Local poets are encouraged to submit up to three poems for review. [Former San Francisco Poet Laureate Jack] Hirschman is particularly interested in submissions which reflect San Francisco's diversity of language and culture." Note that "all poets whose work is chosen will receive fifty dollars for their readings." Once again, there's no application fee indicated. Find out more by clicking here. (via CRWROPPS-B)
