Lost Penny Press Broadside Competition Lost Penny Press Broadside competition—We are starting 2026 off with a call for single poems to print as high quality broadsides. Poems must be original, unpublished work. Publication on social media and personal websites counts as published. We will choose four poems from the submissions received, pair them with beautiful original art and announce winners at a launch party in mid April, celebrating your work, and National Poetry Month. We are mostly looking for Chicagoland writers for this competition because we would like everyone who submits to be able to attend the launch party and share in some poetry month joy. Broadside Competition Temp Closed- Open to Chicagoland poets.
