Every year, a winning poet will receive an award of $250, publication of original work in The Paris-American, and will be invited to read at Poets House alongside a premier poet.
Premier poets have included Mark Strand, Yusef Komunyakaa, Marie Howe, and Mark Doty.
We charge a fee of $12 for online submissions. This fee helps to support The Paris-American in its mission to bring emerging (even well-established) voices to a wider audience by placing them on literature's largest stage, New York City.
