Call For Submissions: Narrative Matters Poetry Contest 2019The Narrative Matters section of Health Affairs is seeking poetry submissions
for an upcoming issue of the journal.
We are holding a poetry contest, from July 1 to August 31, looking for well-crafted poems that touch on topics related to health and health policy. Three winning poems will be announced in September. Winning poets will receive a monetary prize—$500 for first place, $300 for second, and $100 for third—as well as publication in Health Affairs, and two copies of the issue containing the winning poems.
All entries will be read and judged by Health Affairs staff.
- Limit 3 poems submitted per person. Each poem—in pdf or word doc format—should be submitted as a separate entry through our submission portal here.
- Poems must be no longer than a single-spaced page, with double spaces between stanzas
- Font size no smaller than 11 point.
- Poems must be written in English.
- Poems must be previously unpublished.
- Poems themselves should contain no personal identifiers.
You can read some earlier poems published by Health Affairs, including the winners of the 2015 Narrative Matters poetry contest, poems by patients and consumers, poems on vulnerable populations, and poems on the cancer experience.
We look forward to reading your submissions!
