There may occasionally be one or more additional poems that receive an Honorary Mention. This will not be awarded every week, but when awarded, the poet(s) will receive a $10 cash prize, sent via PayPal to the user's registered e-mail address. All Winners and Honorary Mentions will be eligible to be included in future anthologies.
 
Any type of poem is welcome! Formal or informal, long or short, rhyme or free verse—we like all kinds of poems. Results will be announced within three days of the contest end and posted in the contest winners' forum. 
 
Each week's winner will be selected by Poetry Nook's editorial staff.
