CRWROPPS Post: 2020 Frost Place Chapbook Contest
My name is Jacob Rivers and I am the Assistant to the Director at The Frost Place in Franconia, New Hampshire. I am contacting you in hopes that you will help spread the word about our annual chapbook competition. I have enclosed information about it in the body of this email.
Since 2013, The Frost Place and Bull City Press have teamed up to facilitate an annual chapbook competition. The selected winner's chapbook is published by Bull City Press in the summer following the competition. The winner receives 10 complimentary copies (from a print run of 300), and a $250 prize. The winner also receives a full scholarship to attend the Poetry Seminar at The Frost Place, including room and board (valued at approximately $1,550), and gives a featured reading from the chapbook at the Seminar. Additionally, the chapbook fellow has the option to spend one week living and writing in The Frost Place House-Museum in September (during peak fall foliage season in the White Mountains) at a time agreed upon by the fellow and The Frost Place.
Guidelines for the 2020 Chapbook Competition judged by Patrick Donnelly
Submission Period: October 1 – January 5.
Submissions Fee: $28.00. Submissions are only accepted online through the online submission manager.
ELIGIBILITY
The Frost Place Chapbook Competition Sponsored by Bull City Press is open to any poet writing in English. Simultaneous submissions are permissible, but entrants are asked to notify the competition administrators through the competition website immediately if a manuscript becomes committed elsewhere.
Please do not submit to this competition if you are close enough to the final judge that their integrity or the integrity of Bull City Press and The Frost Place would be called into question should you be selected as the winner. You may query us if you have questions regarding this matter. Please query by email to frost@frostplace.org.
SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT
Entries must be submitted between October 1 and January 5. All entries must be submitted to our online submissions manager. Entries submitted by e-mail, fax, or US mail are not permitted and will be disqualified. Submission with identification on the manuscript will be disqualified.
