The 2023 Maria W. Faust Sonnet Contest is off to a strong start! With spring just around the corner (we hope!), now is a great time to submit your entries. This is my eighth year managing the entry process and one thing that I've learned is that poets are procrastinators . . .

We are looking forward to April which is National Poetry Month. In addition to our First Tuesday Laureate Writers Series event on April 4th, we will hold a special sonnet focused celebration on Tuesday, April 18th featuring one of our judges, Jim Armstrong. More details to come! These events are locally held in Winona, Minnesota.

To those of you who have already sent us your sonnets, thanks! If you have questions, feel free to reach out. You can email me at: entries@sonnetcontest.org.
