Through March 15, we are accepting submissions via Submittable for the Lexi Rudnitsky Editor's Choice Award, open to poets who have published at least one previous book of poems. The winner receives publication in Fall 2026 and an advance of $2,000. Previous winners include Cameron Awkward-Rich, Allison Blevins, Sarah Carson, Stacie Cassarino, Shane McCrae, Amy Newman, Michael White, and other wonderful poets.
The $30 entry fee for this contest supports the work of the Lexi Rudnitsky Poetry Project, whose past efforts have included teaching poetry in NYC public schools and rehabilitation centers. We do have a limited number of submission fee waivers for those in need.
