Crab Orchard Series in Poetry Open Competition Awards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Crab Orchard Series in Poetry Open Competition Awards are relatively large prizes given out each year to poets with unpublished manuscripts. In addition to the cash prizes, winners get published by a university press, and second-place winners also get a relatively large cash award.

The Crab Orchard Review, a biannual journal of creative works published by the Department of English of Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, and Southern Illinois University Press organize the competition, which gives out $3,500 to first-place winners and $2,000 to those in second place. Winners must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the United States.
