Poems of 21 lines or fewer written on any subject — in any style — are judged by Dr. James Cameron, contest director.

“I encourage poets to send in the poem they’re most proud of,” he says.

Entries are due July 31, and may be submitted by mail to: Free Poetry Contest, P.O. Box 3336, Central Point, OR 97502, or enter at www.freecontest.com.

Those sending entries should include their name and address on the same page as the poem. A winners’ list will be sent to entrants.
