As National Poetry Month draws to a close, Calgary literary press Frontenac House has announced it's teaming with Wattpad--a Toronto-based online writing community, social networking site and mobile phone e-book developer--for a poetry competition. *Extravaganza!*, as it is called, invites poets to upload and share their best poem; the winning poems will be published in a book late this year.
To enter, poets can submit works to Wattpad, tagging them "poetrycontest," by July 31. Submissions must be original, in English, and may not have been previously published anywhere else. Frontenac House will choose around 20 winners, and will announce them on September 15. The book, which will be released at the end of this year, will be published in e-formats and as a limited edition print version.
