The 2019 & 2020 Richard Wilbur Book Award
$1000 Prize & Book Publication
Final Judge: Ned Balbo
Deadline: December 1, 2018
Named in honor of the distinguished American poet Richard Wilbur, the competition welcomes submissions of unpublished, original poetry collections (public domain or permission-secured translations may comprise up to one-third of the manuscript). This biennial competition (even-numbered years) is open to all American poets — those with or without previous book-length publication — except previous recipients of the Richard Wilbur Award. Winning manuscripts will reflect the thoughtful humanity and careful metrical craftsmanship of Richard Wilbur’s poetry.
Manuscripts should include a title page with the title of the collection, the author’s address, email address, and telephone number. Do not include the author’s name, bio, or any other identifying information anywhere on the manuscript. An acknowledgments page would be welcomed.
The entry fee is $25 per manuscript paid via Submittable. The winning manuscripts will be published by the University of Evansville Press in 2019 and 2020. The deadline for submission is midnight, December 1, 2018.
