The editors of FIELD are pleased to announce the twelfth annual FIELD Poetry Prize competition. The contest is open to all poets, whether or not they have previously published in book form. Unpublished poetry manuscripts between 50 and 80 pages in length will be considered. Oberlin College Press publishes the winning manuscript in the FIELD Poetry Series and awards the winning author one thousand dollars ($1000).

Manuscripts must be postmarked during May 2008. The contest reading fee is $22 and includes a one-year subscription to FIELD: Contemporary Poetry and Poetics. Please make checks payable to Oberlin College Press.

Manuscripts will not be returned. Include a self-addressed, stamped postcard if you wish to be notified that your manuscript has been received at our office. The winner will be announced on our website by late August 2008.

All entries will be read by the contest judges, David Young and David Walker, editors of FIELD. Former students and close friends of the judges are not eligible to compete.
