FIRST CALL FOR 2024 ANTHOLOGY SUBMISSIONS!

Hello Strollers,

It’s time to think about submitting that special poem or cover art selection for the Stroll of Poets Anthology 2024. Look for full submission guidelines at
https://www.strollofpoets.com/?page_id=19

Where to Submit:
Please email your poem or cover art submission(s) to: strollantho@writersguild.ab.ca

POETRY Submissions
Beginning Friday, November 10, 2023, poems will be accepted for inclusion in the 2024 anthology. How do you qualify to submit a poem? Just one simple criteria:

  • You’re a paid-up member of the Edmonton Stroll of Poets.

Yes, it’s that easy!

COVER ART Submissions
You do not have to be a Stroll member to submit a cover art entry. The Cover Art Competition is open to all.

Beginning Friday, November 10, 2023, we welcome submission of your photographs, drawings, etchings, sketches, details from a larger painting, graphic design art, or anything visually appealing that will fit on the anthology’s 8-1/2” x 9” cover. Subjects with a clear Edmonton connection are also appreciated. A limit of two cover art submissions will be accepted from any one person. (Please note: Due to enthusiastic participation in the Cover Art Competition by so many people, this is a change from the previous limit of three submissions per person!)

Deadline
The deadline for both poetry and cover art submissions is Monday, January 15, 2024, which is just over five (5) weeks from now. I invite you to select your poem or cover art of choice for the Stroll of Poets Anthology 2024, and encourage you to submit it sooner rather than later.

I look forward to hearing from all of you!
