Poetry Society of Virginia

A prize of $1,000 is given annually for a poetry collection published during the current year. The winner is also invited to read at the organization’s annual Spring Poetry Festival, held at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, in May 2024. Self-published books and books that have previously received a post-publication award are ineligible. Lisa Russ Spaar will judge. Submit three copies of a book no fewer than 64 pages in length that was published in 2023 with a $36 entry fee ($25 for current Poetry Society of Virginia members), which includes a one-year membership to the organization, by January 15, 2024.
