In partnership with the River Arts Alliance and the Great River Shakespeare Festival, the Maria W. Faust Sonnet Contest invites you to Take A Leap with us at the Blue Heron Coffeehouse on Saturday, February 29th.
We will celebrate the 2020 contest with music by Jim Reineke, an exploration of the sonnet as a poetic form by Emilio DeGrazia, and activities including sonnet readings by Doug Scholz-Carlson of the Great River Shakespeare Festival and Ken McCullough, Winona's former Poet Laureate; a workshop which will entice you to write a sonnet on the spot; and even a group Sonnet Mad Lib just for fun! The Blue Heron Coffeehouse will serve light refreshments. This event is free and open to the public. Learn more at sonnetcontest.org.

The Maria W. Faust Sonnet Contest is an annual event that welcomes entries from around the world. In brief, $2,000 in prizes are offered, with a $5.00 entry fee for up to 3 sonnets. If you would like to submit more than 3 sonnets, then a separate entry fee will be required. For complete contest information, visit:

sonnetcontest.org

The deadline for entries is June 1, 2020. Submissions should be made through our on-line process, with payment option by PayPal or check. If this process presents a hardship, instructions for entering by mail will be provided upon request. Just send us an email.

There is no fee for entrants in the Youth category (high school and younger) or for undergraduate college students. We hope this will encourage more young people to explore the sonnet form.
