The Ps & Qs Audio Poem Awards / The Quippys A project of Quibble Lit / Quibble Quarterly About The Ps & Qs Audio Poem Awards recognizes exceptional poems that thrive through breath, cadence, presence, and performance—work that embodies the irreplaceable intimacy of the spoken word.Unlike traditional page-centered contests, all submissions are audio-only and judged solely on the strength of their sonic craft.Poets are invited to submit two-minute recordings that lift their writing “above the fold”—pieces shaped by rhythm, texture, resonance, and the physical act of voice. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions. The fee is USD $8 (below average for contests).
