Arc is introducing a totally new facet to its perennial Poem of the Year contest: the Readers’ Choice Award. This gives Arc readers and website visitors the opportunity to read through Poem of the Year shortlisted poems, and vote for your favourite. The author of the winning poem will be awarded a sum of $250.
The Readers’ Choice Award does not affect the process of selecting 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners, which will be announced at the beginning of October along with all Honourable Mentions and Editors’ picks.
Note that this is a blind competition and that poets will remain anonymous to all judges until the contest results are decided.
Anyone can vote:
