The Link isn’t working and the word “here” is spelled “her.” Maybe that is the problem.
Whoops… fixed the typo. The links seem to be fine. Will you try those again?
Still no worky, timed out.
All the links work for me no problem. This is the URL of the first one: http://waxpoetryart.com/contests/poetry.html
Are Those located in the US permitted to make submissions? I’m not worried about the price I just want to be published 🙂
Two of these contests are open to everyone. One is only open to poets under 25. I imagine the poems submitted do need to be in English, but country is not a restriction. These are free contests, unless you want to submit more than one poem to the socially engaged themed contest, in which there are small fees to submit additional poems.
Perfect! Thank you so much for all the awesome info! So glad I chose to follow you, you’ve given me so much insight!
Thanks Hollie! <3
