Introducing the O Sweet Flowery Roses First-Annual DJANGO Award
O Sweet Flowery Roses' one-year-of-existence anniversary is coming up, and what better way to celebrate than to present to you our first-ever DJANGO Award!
The Dazzlingly Jewel'd And, Naturally, Gloriously Official Award is a contest open to any poet up until APRIL 1st, 2009. The award, an honest to goodness bag of hand-crafted jewelery donated by OSFR alum and artist of all trades Shannah Schilit, will be judged by the OSFR staff and guest judge Sean Lyman Frasier.
The rules are simple: please submit one poem about/responding to/invoking the theme TEMPTATION. After all, what's more tempting than a bag of jewels for you or yours?
There are no restrictions on length, form, meter, etc.
The deadline is April 1, 2009.
Please send just one poem and a short author bio, including postal and email addresses to:
djangoaward@gmail.com
What other poetry journal keeps whets your appetite for both emerging poets and poetics AND shiny, shiny bling?
Submit to this contest now!
