Hidden among the
many sponsors of legitimate literary contests advertised on the internet
lurk those who care little about literature, its audience, or authors.
These organizations and individuals exist solely for profit through their so-called writing or poetry contests. Often
you'll find these "free" poetry contests lavishly advertised in your local
newspaper. Before you consider entering any free on-line literary or
writing contest you can do yourself a favor by checking out the following
links to ensure that you are dealing with a legitimate poetry
organization.
