To participate, please submit information here and email work or links to work to dana@motifri.com. Please note: You must submit the form below AND email your two pieces to register. You cannot attach files to the form.

Details: All work will be presented at the final exhibition on (Nov 8 or 9) at WaterFire Arts Center.

Poems will be published in Motif and posted online.

There will be cash awards for audience and judge favorites (we will allow the audience the vote for their favorites, up to nine winners will receive between $100 and $200 each, sponsored by patrons of the arts at R1 Indoor Karting).
