Calling all emerging poets! The 2025 Foster Poetry Prize is officially open for submissions!
The Foster Poetry Prize awards $1000 and publication in CV2 Magazine to the author of the single best poem submitted to the contest. Second and third place winners and an honourable mention will receive publication in CV2 and $350, $250, and $150 respectively.
The Foster Poetry Prize is open to emerging poets, which we classify as anyone who has not yet published a full-length collection of poetry (chapbooks are fine).
Submit by October 1st and you can include an extra poem in your submission, free of charge! More poems = more chances to win. Final deadline to submit is November 1st. Full contest details are here.
The Foster Poetry Prize is funded in part by generous funding from the Manitoba Arts Council.
