# Patricia Grodd Poetry Prize for Young Writers The Patricia Grodd Poetry Prize, created in 2007 by The Kenyon Review - one of America's most respected literary magazines - recognizes outstanding young poets in an annual national contest. Submissions are open every year from November 1 through November 30, and entry is completely free. ## What You'll Do - Submit poetry through The Kenyon Review's online portal during the November window - Compete for a national prize judged by the magazine's editors and guest poets - If selected as winner or runner-up, see your poem published in The Kenyon Review ## Who Should Apply High school sophomores and juniors anywhere. The prize charges no entry fee - the magazine states plainly that it is free to enter - making it accessible to every young poet with a strong poem to share. ## Outcomes The winner receives a full scholarship to a Kenyon Review Young Writers summer workshop, one of the best-known teen writing programs in the country, plus publication in The Kenyon Review alongside established contemporary writers. Runners-up are also published. Winners are announced in March via the magazine's website and newsletter.
