Noemi Press Awards
One prize of $2,000 and publication by Noemi Press are given annually for one book-length poetry collection. (In the past there was also a prize for prose, but the press no longer runs a prose prize.) The editors judge, and often one or two finalists are published. Poets at any stage in their career may enter. The contest results are announced in the summer.{{Cite web|url=http://www.noemipress.org/contest/|title=Contest |website=Noemi Press |access-date=2018-09-28|date=2014-07-16}}
