Double Dutch Magazine: 1st Double Dutch biannual Poetry Prize! Autumn ed. Gold Star Program Gold Star Fee: eur €10.00

The Double Dutch Biannual Poetry Prize!

First winners in 2026, autumn edition. Next ones lauded in the spring of 2027, etc, etc.

Rules:

1 poem per person. No length requirements. No theme preference. Read our mag though, you’ll get a feel for what we tend to gravitate towards? We’re not kidding you. It helps.

Submission fee 10 euro’s. No refunds. One version, so better make it your final.

Submit through Duosuma/Duotrope or the contactpage on our site (after donating 10 euro’s through here) and thank you ever so kindly!

We reserve the right to not name a winner when the quality of submissions isn’t high enough in our oppinion. Even if 1000 people enter. On the other hand, if we only receive 3 poems and they’re all great and one of them’s yours, well… :)

Submission windows: for the autumn editions the 30th of September and for the spring editions March the 31st.

Prizes:

Eternal fame, for the winner of each edition a rigorous ego fondling through a dedicated feature article about their poetry + each edition’s 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will get their own page. We'll select as many nominees as we feel appropriate and these fine folk will get a shout out as well.

Our Head judge for this very first: Lucy Olsman. Thank you so much, Lucy!

We can’t wait to get going with this exciting initiative! So, send us your best? Cheers.

Editorial note: we might be a magazine that likes to kid around and look like we do not take ourselves too seriously? Well, that’s because we don’t! We do however very much cherish the poetry/art published here and treat the hard work that has gone into it with the respect it deserves. You will find us putting the same care and love into organizing these contests. Pinky promise!
