Default New England Shakespeare Festival Sonnet Contest

Please consider sending poems to the New England Shakespeare Festival Sonnet Contest Judged by A.M. Juster. The deadline in August 1. All the proceeds beyond the prize money will go to support the festival. There are three cash prizes, and the winners will have their poems published in The Raintown Review. In addition, NESF website will post clips of Shakespearean actors reading their sonnets.

There is no screening. The judge will read all of the entries.

We also have a Shakespearean Rubber Ducky contest for lovers of light verse and waterfowl.

Thanks, David, I should have moved on to the entry form. I didn't see any mention of it on the guidelines page.

I'd like to suggest that next year's Rubber Ducky Contest incorporate my favorite Shakespeare phrase, "I am a soused gurnet. "
(Henry IV Part I, Act IV Scene 2)

Stephen,

If you have a printable flyer for this contest in file format, please email it to me and I will print some out to have available at the New Jersey literary Festival I am attending this Sunday.

Cheers!

Gail: I have nothing against gurnets, but what would you suggest we do with our supply of Shakespearean ducks?

Anna: If you go to the guidelines, there is a printable version on the bottom. I am very grateful for any help in promoting this.
