Palette Poetry, an initiative that endeavors to uplift and engage emerging and established poets, is seeking entries for the 2020 edition of its prize.
The goal of Palette Poetry is to “simply find and publish the best poetry we can, no matter its roots in craft.” The winning poet, to be selected by this year’s guest judge, 2019 Pulitzer Prize Winner Forrest Gander, will receive $4,000 and publication.
Palette’s editors will choose the ten finalists, and any honorable mentions they think deserve extra attention. Second and third place will receive $300 and $200, respectively.
