A $1,000.00 grand prize is being offered in a religious poetry contest sponsored by New Jersey Rainbow Poets. Open to everyone. There are 28 prizes in all totalling over $2,000.00. “We think great religious poems can inspire achievement,” says Frederick Young, the organization’s famous Contest Director. “We’re especially keen on inspiring beginning poets and we think this competition will accomplish that, California has produced great poets over the years and we’d like to discover new ‘ones from among the Stockton area grassroots poets.” The deadline for entering is February 15. Poems may be written on any subject, using any style, as long as there is an al inference. A typical poem might be a love poem, or nature poem, one that inspires. Winners will be notified by the end of March and will be invited for free publication. Al entrants will receive a winner’s list.
