2027年科罗拉多州诗歌奖

The Colorado Prize for Poetry, established in 1995, invites poets worldwide to submit a book‑length manuscript of 48 to 100 pages for consideration. The contest is open to anyone except Colorado State University students, alumni, employees, and friends or students of the final judge. Entrants must be at least 18 years old and may submit manuscripts that include previously published poems, provided the collection as a whole remains unpublished. Translations and "new and selected" collections are not eligible. The submission window runs from October 1, 2026 to the postmark deadline of January 14, 2027, with a five‑day grace period for both paper and online entries. The entry fee is $25 (online submissions incur an additional $3 fee, totaling $28). Winners receive a $2,500 honorarium, a one‑year subscription to Colorado Review, and publication of their manuscript by the Center for Literary Publishing, with distribution by the University Press of Colorado. The final judge for the 2027 contest is Juliana Spahr. The contest is held annually, making it a recurring opportunity for poets seeking publication and recognition.
