Enter the Connecticut Poetry Circuit Competition
The University of Hartford may nominate one student poet to compete with student poets from around the state in the Connecticut Poetry Circuit student competition. The winners (five poets) will go on a Connecticut Poetry Circuit tour, giving readings for colleges and universities all around our state. There is also money involved: payment for each reading.
Think about it: money for reading your poems.
The readings will be held in spring 2022. It hasn’t yet been determined if they will be in person or online. To enter, you must be available and willing to participate in the readings. Most readings will be in the evenings. In the past twelve years, we’ve had students win this competition seven times. Why? Because we have great poets.
Submissions Guidelines:
1) Submit FIVE PAGES of poems. No more than one poem per page, though you may submit poems longer than one page.
2) Do not put your name on the poems themselves. Include a cover letter with your name, contact information (telephone and email), and the poem titles.
3) Email the poem to grossberg@hartford.edu as one .docx file.
4) The deadline is Friday, Oct.15, 2021. No late submissions considered.
