Cyclamens and Swords Publishing November 2010 Newsletter 

For our current issue, please see http://www.cyclamensandswords.com/
 
Last month to enter the third Cyclamens and Swords Poetry Contest.  Submissions close November 30th!
http://cyclamensandswords.com/contest.php
 
Contest Guidelines:
 
What to submit - This is an open contest for poetry of any style or theme. Your entry should be your own original work. You may submit the same poem(s) simultaneously to this contest and others and you may submit poems that have been published elsewhere, as long as you own the online publication rights. 
 
Entry fee - $5 for one poem, $10 for 3 poems, $15 for 6 poems.
Length - Not to exceed 30 lines length (excluding title and spaces between stanzas).  
 
Prizes - First prize $300, second prize $100, third prize $50 and seven honorable mentions. Winning poems and honorable mentions will be published in our winter issue .   A chapbook containing these poems will be published and presented to the winners in addition to their cash prize.   
 
Judges - Patrick Osada, Helen Bar-Lev and Johnmichael Simon. We believe that our system of having three judges working independently and by then combining and averaging the three scores is the best and fairest way of giving every entry an unbiased chance of winning a prize.  Poems, of course, are judged anonymously.
 
The Theme for our December Issue is SUPERNATURAL
