The Royal City Literary Arts Society is looking for Canada’s best poets.
The society is calling for submissions for its fifth annual Fred Cogswell Award for Excellence in Poetry.
The award is open to Canadian writers who had a book published in English in 2017. It comes with a cash award of $500 for first place, $250 for second and $100 for third.
Books must be bound as a book (not a chapbook) and a minimum of 60 pages in length, published in Canada and written by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
Entries will be judged by award-winning poet Miranda Pearson, a B.C. finalist for the 2010 and 2016 Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize, the author of four collections of poetry and a teacher and editor.
Email secretary@rclas.com or see www.rclas.com for more information.
Entries must be postmarked by Oct. 1.
