Postmark deadline for entries in the annual Kentucky State Poetry Society Contest is June 30.

This year the society is offering prizes in 25 categories, including the Grand Prix ($200) and the President’s Prize ($100). The endowed Chaffin/Kash award ($100) is for members only but the society welcomes new members and you can send your dues along with your contest entries.

Membership information is available here.

Prizes are awarded at the annual KSPS Awards Weekend, October 12-14, at the Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park. First prize winners are published in Pegasus.

You can read Andrea O’Brien’s 2006 Grand Prix winning poem, Highway 60, Passing Through Versailles, Kentucky at the link.
