Premio Rattle Chapbook 2027

The 2027 Rattle Chapbook Prize is an annual competition organized by Rattle, an American poetry magazine based in Los Angeles, USA. Poets worldwide may submit a manuscript of 15–30 pages of poetry written primarily in English; the collection must be unpublished as a chapbook. The $30 entry fee provides a one‑year subscription to Rattle (or an extension for existing subscribers). Three winners, selected by the Rattle editors in an anonymized review, each receive $5,000 cash, 500 author copies of their chapbook, and distribution to Rattle’s 10,000+ subscribers. At least one winner must be a poet who has not yet published a full‑length book. Submissions are accepted via Submittable in a single file (doc, docx, txt, rtf, pdf) and must be final, as entries cannot be edited after submission. The competition closes on January 15, 2027 at 11:59 p.m. EST, with winners announced on April 15, 2027. Simultaneous submissions are allowed, and additional entries incur an extra $30 fee each.

Cash prize ($5,000 per winner), 500 author copies, distribution to subscribers, publication opportunity, subscription to Rattle.

The competition is open to writers worldwide.
