    The Kentucky State Poetry Society is now accepting entries for their 2008 contest.

    Poets can compete in 25 categories this year, several of which pay as much as $100 for first place. I’m pleased to see the return of the Poet Laureate’s Prize, sponsored and judged this year by Jane Gentry. The Grand Prix pays $200, $100, and $50.

    Submission deadline is June 30, 2008.

    Entry fees for non-members are $2 per category (1 poem per category) and $5 for the Grand Prix.

    You can get a full set of guidelines by downloading a pdf file here or by contacting the contest chairwoman, Irma Cooper, by e-mail at wordweaver313@adelphia.net.

    Awards will be announced at the annual awards banquet, Pine Mountain State Resort Park, October 18. First prize winners will be published in the annual contest issue of Pegasus.
