Guidelines:
Theme:
Completely open.

If the manuscript wins, the poet must make the manuscript available to Gival Press on an IBM-compatible disk or CD in Rich Text Format (RTF)—this refers to how one saves the document on one's computer disk.
A short bio should be included.
Always keep a copy of your manuscript; materials will not be returned and will be recycled after the judging.
