T. S. Eliot Prize for Poetry
The T. S. Eliot Prize for Poetry is an annual award for the best unpublished book-length collection of poetry in English, in honor of native Missourian T. S. Eliot's considerable intellectual and artistic legacy. The purpose of the T. S. Eliot Prize is to publish and promote contemporary English-language poetry, regardless of a poet's nationality, reputation, stage in career, or publication history.
Truman State University Press offers $2,000 and publication of the winning collection under its standard royalty contract. All entrants will receive a copy of the winning book.
