Zócalo Public Square is open to submissions for its eighth annual Poetry Prize. The prize is awarded to a poem that “best evokes a connection to place.” The winner will receive $500 and a published interview with Zócalo.

Submissions are currently open; the deadline is February 4. To submit, send up to three poems to poetry@zocalopublicsquare.org [3]. There is no entry fee. The editors will judge. For complete guidelines, visit the website [4].

The winner will be announced in March 2019. Previous winners include Charles Jensen [5] for his poem “Tucson”; Matt Phillips [6] for his poem “Crossing Coronado Bridge”; and Gillian Wegener [7] for “The Old Mill Café.”

Established in Los Angeles in 2003, Zócalo Public Square [8] is dedicated to connecting “people to ideas and to each other by examining essential questions in an accessible, broad-minded, and democratic spirit.”
