SMALL ORANGE EMERGING WOMAN POET HONOR

ABOUT THE PRIZE

Small Orange Journal invites women-identifying and nonbinary emerging poets who do not yet have a full-length poetry collection to submit poems for our Emerging Woman Poet Honor. Poems must be previously unpublished. The submission fee is $5.00 for up to five pages of poetry. This fee will support the $100.00 honorarium for the winning poet, as well as a donation to the nonprofit organization, Girls Write Now. Winners will be published in our Spring issue and will be included in our year-end limited edition print anthology.

Our 2023 contest is now closed.
