Event Details
The Chaotic Creators Magazine Poetry Contest is run by Chaotic Creators Magazine, an independent online publication. The contest welcomes poems on any theme from writers at all levels, with all eligible entries published on the magazine’s website.
Entrants may submit any number of poems, each no longer than 42 lines with no minimum. There is no set theme. Writers retain the rights to their work, but by entering they grant the magazine permission to feature and promote their poem across its platforms.
Free entry is available for low-income creators — up to five places are offered on a first-come, first-served basis to those receiving benefits, students, or anyone for whom the fee is a significant burden. Applicants should email the organisers to apply.
The winner receives a cash prize of £50, which the organisers note may increase if entries exceed expectations. All entries that comply with the rules are published on the online magazine.
