The Button Poetry / Exploding Pinecone Press 2019 Chapbook Contest is now open! Please review these guidelines carefully before submitting.
Prize: The winner will receive publication, 50 free author copies, a $500 honorarium, and roundtrip travel to Minneapolis* to perform at a release show and be filmed by Button’s video crew.
Entry Fee: $15; all entrants will receive a 20% discount off any purchase at the Button Shop
Timeline: The contest will open on November 15th and close at 11:59 PM PST on January 5th!
Eligibility: This competition is open to writers ages 18+ from anywhere in the world.
Manuscript Eligibility: Open to all previously unpublished, chapbook-length manuscripts of poetry (loosely defined) written in English. Manuscripts that contain previously published poems are eligible, so long as the manuscript is unpublished as a collection.
What We Like: We value energy and voice and force, work that crosses borders or effaces them completely, work that enters into larger social conversations, work that lives in the world, work with calloused hands and a half-empty stomach. We think poetry is and ought to be part of our everyday lives and culture.
