INDIANA STATE POETRY CLUBS
THE MANNINGHAM STUDENT TRUST AND NFSPS CONTESTS
Rules of Entry – 2018
 
1.   There are two divisions: Grades 6-8 (Junior Division) and 9-12 (Senior Division). Poems may have been printed and have won previous awards.
 
2.   This competition is open to all students attending school in our state including public, private, and parochial schools. Only ONE entry per student is allowed.
 
3.    Submit two copies of each poem. Put division (junior or senior) in the upper LEFT corner of both copies. FIRST copy must have student's ID in the upper RIGHT corner including: student name, teachers full name, school name and address, and student grade level.  Also include this acceptable declaration of originality statement on the BOTTOM of the ID COPY ONLY: I certify that this poem is my original work and has not been copied in whole or part from any author's poems in print or on the internet. Signed: _________________________
 
The SECOND copy must NOT have any ID information.  Only the Division status in the upper LEFT corner. ( Note:  ISP would also like the home addresses in order to mail each Indiana winner an honorary year’s subscription to its newsletter, Indiana Poet.  This information could be included in the ID copy or attached to the ID copy if permissible by the student.)
 
4.    Each poem should be neatly typed or computer-generated, single spaced, have a title and no more than 35 lines including space lines with no line having more than 60 characters including spaces and punctuation.  The poem should be on a single sheet.  Do not staple the two copies (FIRST and SECOND copies) of the poem together.
 
5.    PLEASE, no large print, illustrations or unusual type fonts (i.e. gothic, script, etc.) Best fonts are Times New Roman or Arial and no larger than 12 point.
 
6.    Separate copies with no ID from those with ID, placing originals on the top. Identification should not be on the back of the poem.
