Lake Affect Magazine to Honor Book Publisher with Poetry Contest
Lake Affect Magazine is sponsoring a poetry contest to honor BOA Editions, Ltd. the award-winning Rochester-based publisher of poetry books. The contest will help mark BOA’s 30th anniversary. The winning poem will receive $250. The second place poem will receive $150, and the third place poem, $75. In addition, all three winning poems will be eligible for publication in an upcoming issue of Lake Affect Magazine. And each winner will receive three copies of BOA Editions poetry books. There are no limits on style, length, or content, although overtly religious or political poems are not encouraged. Poems which, because of content, are not suitable for publication in a family-oriented magazine, will still be eligible for the monetary prize, but will not be published in the magazine. The contest is open to all residents of the greater Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse areas. Entrants must be citizens or legal residents of the United States, at least 18 years old, and cannot be employees, board members, family or volunteers at either BOA or Lake Affect. Each entry may contain up to two poems and must be accompanied by a check or money order for $5 payable to Lake Affect Magazine. All entries must be postmarked no later than May 1, and should be sent to Poetry Contest, Lake Affect Magazine, P.O. Box 10016, Rochester, NY 14610. Poems will not be returned. Entrants wanting to know the results of the contest should include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Thom Ward, Editor of BOA, will serve as final judge of the contest.
