QPoetry! 2024 -
Chapbook Poetry Submissions
Queensland Writers Centre (QWC) invites all writers to submit poetry for a special new project as part of QPoetry! 2024.
Selected works will be printed and bound in small chapbooks, featuring cover art by a guest artist, and displayed in an exhibition at Judith Wright Arts Centre in August.
All selected applicants will receive a printed copy of their own chapbook, and one copy will be printed and included in the display.
Attendees at the QPoetry! event will be invited to browse, read and purchase chapbooks from the exhibition, with proceeds going towards prize monies for Queensland's poetry awards. (Book your place at the event here.)
Applications close Tuesday 16 July 2024. Call the Centre on (07) 3842 9922 or email admin@qldwriters.org.au for assistance. By making an application below applicants agree to have read and accepted these terms.
Submission guidelines
Submissions are accepted from all writers – published and unpublished. Applicants must be Australian citizens or permanent residents in Australia.
Applicants must submit their own original work.
Submitted poems may be unpublished, or previously published, provided the author holds and can grant all necessary rights to QWC to reprint.
Submissions may be of any style and genre.
Multiple submissions are allowed.
Applications are free for all QWC members during the early bird period (closing 11 July 2024); all other applications are subject to a $10 entry fee.
