Each week's winner will receive:


1. A $25 prize
2. Eligibility to be published in future printed anthologies
3. A free paperback copy of the anthology containing your poem, if your poem is selected for the anthology

Any type of poem is welcome! Formal or informal, long or short, rhyme or free verse—we like all kinds of poems. Results will be announced within three days of the contest end and posted in the contest winners' forum. There will at least one winner every week, but we may occasionally select more than one winner. In that case, every winner will receive the prize.

Each week's winner will be selected by Poetry Nook's editorial staff. Winners will be determined primarily according to the editorial staff's judgment, but we will also take into account the number of likes, views, and insightful comments each poem receives.

Aside from the contest winners, we will occasionally include other entrants in Poetry Nook anthologies. Included poets will receive a free paperback copy of the anthology when it is published.
