Imbolc is the traditional Celtic start of Spring. We will honor the new season with a free poetry open mic. Imbolc will be hosted by Poison Oak, the drag poet of NYC. Read a poem about spring, Earth, rebirth, or whatever you'd like! Sign-ups at 6pm, reading begins at 6:30.
Find details about every creative writing competition—including poetry contests, short story competitions, essay contests, awards for novels, grants for translators, and more—that we’ve published in the Grants & Awards section of Poets & Writers Magazine during the past year. We carefully review the practices and policies of each contest before including it in the Writing Contests database, the most trusted resource for legitimate writing contests available anywhere.
