The postmark deadline is March 1
Entries can be submitted one of two ways:
Send one printed copy through the U.S. Postal Service (see guidelines and address below), along with a check for the appropriate fee, made payable to the North Carolina Writers’ Network.
Submit an electronic copy online at http://ncwriters.submittable.com, and pay by VISA or MasterCard.
Poem will not be returned. If submitting by mail, include a self-addressed stamped envelope for a list of the winner and finalists. The winner and finalists will be announced in May.
An entry fee must accompany the poem. Multiple submissions are accepted, one poem per entry fee: $10 for NCWN members, $15 for nonmembers.

Submissions should be one poem only (40-line limit).
