Guidelines:

 

1) Entry fee of $16.00 includes a one year subscription to RATTLE.

3) Submissions will be judged in a blind review by the editors of RATTLE: Send no more than five poems per entry; print name, address, phone number, and the titles of the poems onto a coversheet. No contact information should appear on the poems. Include a check or money order for $16.00, payable to RATTLE.

 

4) No previously published works, or works accepted for publication elsewhere. No simultaneous submissions.

 

5) Manuscripts will not be returned; include a SASE to be notified of the results.

 

6) Winners will be announced no later than September 15th, 2006, and those poems will be published in the Winter 2006 issue of RATTLE. Additional entries may also be offered publication.

 

7) For an idea of our editorial tastes, back issues can be purchased at www.rattle.com

 

POSTMARK DEADLINE:

August 1st, 2006

 

Send entries to:

 

RATTLE

12411 Ventura Blvd

Studio City, CA 91604

 

*Special Guidelines for International Entries:

 

 

Because it is difficult to deal with exchange rates, we ask that all international writers pay the entry fee in US Dollars via postal money order, or online using our secure vendor and a credit card. Paying online is easy, just click on the link below, and when you mail us your submission, note that you already paid online.

 

Rather than use SASE and international reply coupons, we encourage you to let us notify you of the results by email. Be sure to include your email address on the coversheet.

 

Finally, because international mail can be slow we might not be able to adhere to the postmark deadline. If we receive your submission after August 10th, we will have to consider it for the 2007 prize instead.
