The next Noemi Press Book Award will open in January 2027. Guidelines appear below:

A prize of $2,000 and publication by Noemi Press is given annually for one book-length poetry collection. The editors will judge.      

POETRY: Poets at any stage in their career may submit a manuscript (no page limit) with a $30 entry fee by May 1, 2027. With your entry, you can elect to receive a random title (based on available inventory) from the Noemi Press catalog that has previously been a recipient of the Book Award. (Please note, due to duties, we are unable to ship outside of U.S. states and territories. We apologize for the inconvenience.)

All manuscripts are read anonymously. Strip your manuscript of all identifying material including dedications and acknowledgements; otherwise, the manuscript will not be considered.
