Best New Poets, an annual anthology of 50 emerging writers, is now accepting submissions for its open competition. See www.bestnewpoets.org for details. Submission deadline is midnight, June 1, 2009.

Entering poets cannot have published a book-length poetry collection by November 2009 (chapbooks do not affect your eligibility). Full eligibility requirements posted here. Entry fee: $3.50. Each entry can contain two poems. Selected poets receive five copies of the print anthology. This year's guest editor is Kim Addonizio.

In 2009, we're taking entries through ManuscriptHub. To create your submission,

1. Save your poems to new files that do not have your name or contact info in the text/header or in the file names. Save the files as either .rtf, .doc, .txt, or .pdf documents. Our system does not yet accept MS Word’s .docx file format, so use the “save as” feature to save to one of the above formats.

2. Then, go to http://www.manuscripthub.com and either login or create a new account.

3. Click on the blue icon that says “Your Manuscripts”

4. Click on the “Add a New Manuscript” link.

5. Click on the gray “Browse” button and attach the file with your poem in it. (This button may read “Attach” on some Web browsers.) Enter the title of your poem and click the gray “Upload” button. Repeat for your second poem. However, this does not complete your submission; you still need to direct it to our competition.

6. To do so, click on the blue “Submit Work” icon at the top of the screen.

7. Scroll down and click on the link that says “Best New Poets 2009”

8. Use the first drop down menu to select one of the manuscripts you just uploaded. Use the second drop down to select the other. Then click “Submit.” This step takes a little while to run … be patient.

9. Verify your submission and click “pay now” to go to the University of Virginia credit card gateway.

10. After paying, you can click on the blue “Submission Status” icon to double-check that your submission went through. It should be in an “Open” status. You can use this icon to check back and see if the work has been read. We plan to announce full results by the end of July 2009 or early August.

No off-topic posts, please.

Every one I've checked out since the mid-1960s has had submission guidelines.

The only publications (that I know oif) which don't always welcome submissions (cuz they get swamped) are The Atlantic Monthly and the New Yorker.

Many poetry magazines say specifically, "We are not accepting submissions at this time, we'll contact YOU." Then they pluck people from other magazines and ask them for new poems. I suppose those are submission guidelines, but if that's what you meant you're not very funny.

Blue Angel Landing, an online and print poetry and art journal, is accepting submissions for its second volume. The hitch is that in the past, poets and artists had to be Second Life residents to submit because the requirement was that poems be read aloud at the virtual bar the Blue Angel to be considered.

Now for the first time ever, you don't have to be a Second Life resident to submit so long as you can come read your poem Live in Brooklyn! If you can come to Freddy's Bar on March 19, (a critically-acclaimed bar in Brooklyn) you can not only be part of a fantastic mixed-reality event but also submit your poem to Blue Angel Landing.

Those of you with Second Life accounts, send me your poems and come read them at an open mic. Those of you who don't have SL accounts, circle the date March 19 on your calendar and consider a trek to the bestest borough.

PM me for details.

Fabulous site - thanks Ms. Glitters.

I thought of our local UK-ites when I read this. It's not a call for submissions so much as a casting call for a new reality show in Leeds... Extreme Poetry - Leeds.
