Acorn-Plantos Award
for People's Poetry

In memory of Milton Acorn and Ted Plantos


Deadline: June 30, 2007

The Acorn-Plantos Award for People's Poetry is presented annually to a
Canadian poet based on a book published in the previous calendar year (in
the present case, 2006).

The work should follow in the tradition of Acorn, Livesay, Purdy, Plantos,
and others by being accessible to all people in its use of language and
image.

The award is open to any living poet who is a Canadian citizen or landed
immigrant. The work may be entered by the poet or the publisher. The award
itself honours the poet.

The award consists of $500 (Canadian) and a medallion.

Entry fee: $25 per title.

Send entry fee plus five (5) copies of the book to the address below.
