The Poetry Society of Tennessee (PST) holds poetry contests for its annual poetry festival. This may include multiple individual contests, a special call for submissions, or some combination, at the discretion of the PST Board. Contest winners receive monetary prizes, and first place poems are published in PST's anthology, Tennessee Voices. Additional poems may be published at PST's discretion. See publications page for information on past and forthcoming editions and how to purchase a copy.
