Many Voices Press is accepting submissions for an anthology of poets from Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. We are selecting poems NOW. No deadline.  We will continue to review submissions until we have selected a quantity sufficient to compile a 400 page manuscript.  $200 Many Voices Prize awarded to the best poem from each state.

• Send up to twelve poems of any length, any style, any subject matter.
• Include contact information on each poem: name, address, phone, email.
• Include a SASE for response.  No manuscripts will be returned.
• Include a $12 entry fee.  All entrants will receive a copy of the anthology (a $24 value). Many Voices Press is a non-profit public service organization.
• Poems in Native American languages or in Spanish must also include English translations.  (We will publish both versions side-by-side.)
• Include a brief bio.  (Yes, we want to know about your awards and previous publications, but please also tell us something more creative, original, and interesting about your life in the American West.) 
• Poems previously published must include name of magazine, issue, and date.  If the poem was previously published in a book, include title of book, publisher, and date.  Important: Authors must obtain reprint rights.  MVP can not pay reprint fees.
