The English Department recently announced their sponsorship of a student poetry contest, which invites students at the University to submit a poem for the chance to win $500.

According to GW English News:

Poems are judged anonymously. Students should submit one poem, no more than 200 lines long. A separate cover sheet should include the author’s name, the title of the poem, GW ID number, and contact information (e-mail and phone). The student’s name should appear only on the cover sheet.

Submissions should be turned in to the English Department office, Rome Hall 760, by noon on Friday March 27. The contest will be judged by English Department faculty.
