2084 Annual Competition
The 2084 Literary Competition is a Poetry contest where writers from every country can participate. The theme: write something that pertains to a bigger, brighter future. Anything futuristic counts!
We especially encourage writers from developing countries to submit, though everyone is welcome.
Submissions
Welcome to the 2084 Literary Organization's first annual poetry competition! Each year, the 2084 team holds an annual contest that is connected with George Orwell's 1984.
Winners of the contest will have their bio and poem displayed on the home page of 2084's site. The Top 6 winners receive Pushcart Prize nominations and may be invited for future judging.
We are not a vanity publisher. In all of these prizes and publication opportunities, the cost is 0 and we will never have paywalls for publication.
Simultaneous submissions are not allowed.
NOTE: Poems will be judged blind and reviewed by each judge based on style/craft, originality, and resonance. Results will be posted no more than two months after the call ends.
Contest requirements:
Poems must be 30 lines or less (not including line breaks).
Poems must have never been published before.
Please submit only once per contest.
