Sunday, January 5, 2025, 3:30-5:30pm ET (via Zoom)
Join us for a virtual lecture led by Rachel Marie Patterson and Dara-Lyn Shrager, editors of Radar Poetry. We will discuss different types of poetry contests and what, how, and when to submit. Lean in to hear some secrets as we share what we've learned during the 12 years we've been running the Coniston Prize. That includes the things no one talks about—codes of ethics, judges, timelines, emergencies, mistakes, success stories, and more. Make your contest submissions the best they can be! Q & A to follow.
