The competition is organized by Tampa Review, a literary magazine produced at The University of Tampa in Tampa, United States.  The competition is open to anyone.

Entrants should submit a collection of poems. Manuscripts must be previously unpublished. Some or all of the poems in the collection may have appeared in periodicals, chapbooks, or anthologies, but these must be identified.

Manuscripts must be at least 48 typed pages. The preferred length is between 60 and 100 pages.

The winner receives a cash prize of US$2,000 and book publication.

Selected poems will be published in Tampa Review.
