Your Turn to Pick a Winner!
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:
- view online or download the Poems for Readers’ Choice pdf, read through and choose your top three picks
- email your top three list with titles and page numbers to vote@arcpoetry.ca.
- only one vote will be accepted from each email address.
- DEADLINE FOR VOTES: September 30, 2008.
- Readers’ Choice Award winner will be announced with all other Poem of the Year Awards at the beginning of October 2008.
See Readers’ Choice Award page.

Vie for the Brebner Prize by October 1st
Contestants—
- You live in Ottawa or nearby within the National Capital Region.
- You’re busting poetry at the seams, maybe running out of hard drive or drawer room. But no book yet.

- Recognition, plus a $500 bonus, to claim.
Backgrounder—
Born in 1978, Arc Poetry Magazine at 30 is still hip, mingling work of emerging poets and seasoned poets among its pages in a bid for the best contemporary poetry. Diana Brebner is a fondly remembered mentor of many Ottawa-area poets.
