Hidden among the many sponsors of legitimate literary contests advertised on the internet lurk those who care little about literature, its audience, or authors. These organizations and individuals exist solely for profit through their so-called writing or poetry contests. Often you'll find these "free" poetry contests lavishly advertised in your local newspaper. Before you consider entering any free on-line literary or writing contest you can do yourself a favor by checking out winning writers to ensure that you are dealing with a legitimate poetry organization.

Winning Writers is a quite excellent service that summarizes and rates virtually all North American and British competitions in poetry and fiction.

A winning site!

Winning Writers is my favorite source of information about poetry contests. They offer a catalog of current contests which is worth buying, and have a lot of free information available on their site. The also have an online poetry contest guide, Poetry Contest Insider, which ranks and profiles poetry contests. They also sponsor two annual contests of their own, the Wergle Flomp Humor Poetry Contest (no fee) and the War Poetry Contest. You can sign up for their free email newsletter and receive monthly news about free poetry contests and literary resources.
