Dear colleagues,
With apologies for cross-posting, Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) is now accepting submissions for the 43rd annual William Carlos Williams poetry competition. through December 31, 2024. New this year, we will be awarding prizes in two categories: a medical student category, open to students enrolled in MD and DO programs in the US, Puerto Rico, or Canada, and a physician category, open to any rank of physician (MD or DO) at any career stage, from residency to retirement, in the US, Puerto Rico, or Canada.
Each year, the William Carlos Williams competition receives hundreds of entries, which are judged by the Wick Poetry Center at Kent State University. Submissions will be judged on the merits of craft, originality, and content. First-, second-, and third-place winners in each category will receive a cash prize and will be considered for publication in the Journal of Medical Humanities. Winning poets will be notified by March 1, 2025.
For submission details, eligibility criteria, and to submit online, please visit NEOMED's William Carlos Williams poetry competition webpage. Contact wcw@neomed.edu with any questions or for additional information. Faculty and Staff: Please share this call for submissions with your medical students and physician colleagues--we look forward to reviewing their creative work!
Much appreciated,
rcb
