Archived Market Information:
Dora and Alexander Raynes Poetry Prize appears to be closed. The Dora and Alexander Raynes Poetry Prize, sponsored by Jewish Currents Magazine, was last held in 2016. No subsequent contests have been announced, and the magazine's website does not provide current information about the prize. Therefore, it appears that the prize is no longer active, and submissions are not currently accepted.
$18 entry fee (for submission of up to three poems), includes a one-year subscription to Jewish Currents. Prizewinners will also receive a one-year subscription to The Forward newspaper.
Deadline: January 15, 2013. Announcements will be made in March.
• First prize: $1,000
• Two second prizes: $180 each
• The top 36 poems will be published as a chapbook by Blue Thread, an imprint of Jewish Currents, in the summer of 2013.
