Brittingham and Pollak Poetry Prize

The University of Wisconsin Press awards the Brittingham Prize in Poetry and the Felix Pollak Prize in poetry.


Prize:
$2,500 ($1,000 cash prize and $1,500 honorarium to cover expenses of reading in Madison). Prizes are awarded annually to the two best book-length manuscripts of original poetry.

Submission Guidelines:

All submissions must be 50–80 manuscript pages in length.
The manuscript must be previously unpublished in book form. Poems published in journals, chapbooks, and anthologies may be included but must be acknowledged.
Each manuscript submitted will be considered for both prizes.
There are no restrictions on the kind of poetry or subject matter, although translations are not acceptable.
The winners will be announced and the prizes awarded in February of each calendar year, with publishing contracts to follow soon thereafter.

Fee: $25
