Join The 15 Day Poetry Chapbook Challenge!
July 15th-July 30th 2020

Local Gems Press is VERY excited to bring this new poetry challenge to you! We had an absolutely amazing 30 poems in 30 day challenge. But with so many entrants and only a few prizes, we could only accept so many chapbooks. We wanted to give poets an opportunity for a challenge--not a competition between other poets, but a challenge for themselves to complete, with an opportunity to see the results in print! 

How Does It Work?

Step 1:
You register for the challenge.
Step 2:
July 15th-30th, you write a poem a day.
Each day you will get a poetry prompt video emailed to you. 
Step 3:
​If you complete the challenge, you will have an opportunity to get the chapbook printed! 

100 Poetry Prompts
​Book Included! 

Participation:

Each day of the contest the participants will be emailed a prompt video for the day. They will also receive the 100 Poetry Prompt downloadable workbook the first day of the challenge. All participants are free to use the main prompts, prompts from the journal or any other ideas or inspiration they have for writing their poems, the only hard and fast rule is to write a poem a day for all 15 days. 
​

Printing 

If the challenge is completed, the participant can inform us of the completion and then have the opportunity for Local Gems Press to print a chapbook for them--the finished chapbooks will be pocket-sized books, 4.25 by 6.9. 

Registration: Closes July 13th
​Midnight EST (Or When Full)

Because of high demand, at this time we have to limit this challenge to the first 100 people who register. We will keep you updated with how many spots we have left, but we expect it to fill up quickly. 

​Will you accept the challenge?
