Poets & Writers' Contests, Grants, and Awards Database
Poets & Writers magazine offers a database filled with current opportunities for writers seeking recognition and/or money to help support their work. Check out their online presence. I also have subscribed to this publication for years and it is my personal favorite for resources, ideas, input from professionals, and all-around support for the often lonely habit of writing.
Some contest and award programs require an entry fee; some do not. I suggest setting a budget for entering fee-based writing contests for the year and choosing carefully and sticking to the budget.
In the back of every issue are listings of these opportunities and of retreats, fellowships, workshops, and agents and publishers seeking new work. Each issue has a theme related to the work of writing both fiction and non-fiction, novel-length and short stories, essays and articles. For new writers, this is the place to dip your toes and whet your whistle...read what agents and publishers have to say about their field.
If you're looking for support or recognition, this is a good place to begin. Their online database currently lists 80 writing contest and award deadlines between May 15 and July 15.
