[malahatreview]

Hello. I'm not sure if this is the correct area of the site to share this. I apologize if this is so. Do redirect me! Warmest, Garth

----

The Malahat Review, Canada’s premier literary magazine, invites emerging poets from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere to enter the Far Horizons Award for Poetry. Eligible poets have yet to publish their poetry in book form (a book of poetry is defined to have a length of 48 pages or more). One prize of $1000 (CAD) is awarded. Poets contributing to The Malahat Review have won or been nominated for National Magazine Awards for Poetry and the Pushcart Prize.

Entries may be sent by regular mail or email. When submitting by email, please ensure you include a cover letter with relevant contact details (more below under Enter by Email); do not simply put this information in the body of the email. We also ask that no personal or contact information is written anywhere on the poems themselves!

The interview will appear on our website and in Malahat lite, the magazine’s monthly e-newsletter, in September 2016.

That's about £25 to enter from the UK. Pretty hefty, but big prize, I guess.
