Louise Glück Prize for Best Poem or Prose

The inaugural Louise Glück Prize for Best Poem or Prose is a literary competition organized by Poetries in English Magazine, a digital journal that publishes poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction semi‑annually. The prize, named in honor of the late Nobel laureate Louise Glück, invites submissions of up to five poems or a single prose piece not exceeding 10,000 words, all written in English. Winners receive a $1,000 honorarium and publication in the magazine; non‑winning entries are also considered for regular publication. The competition is open to all writers, with no age, nationality, or career‑stage restrictions. Submissions are accepted through the magazine’s online form, and the deadline is December 25, 2026. The award provides both financial recognition and a platform for visibility within the contemporary literary community.
