Juniper Prize for Poetry
In 1975 University of Massachusetts Press established the Juniper Prize
for Poetry, an annual award for a selected manuscript of poems to be
published by UMass Press. The award is named in honor of the poet Robert
Francis (1901-1987), who for many years made his home at Fort Juniper
in Amherst. The winning poet now receives a prize of $1,500. All
submissions are judged anonymously by a panel of distinguished poets.

Writers, UMass Press established the Juniper Prize for Fiction to honor
and publish outstanding works of literary fiction. The prize is judged
each year by a distinguished writer of fiction and carries a cash award
of $1,500 upon publication.
