- Compose up to three ekphrastic poems, engaging with one or multiple works of art.

- Ability to engage with art critically and emotionally through poetry.
- A portfolio of previous works (published or unpublished) is preferred but not mandatory.
- Openness to editorial feedback if selected.
- No specific educational background is required; however, a history of literary coursework or workshops may be beneficial.
Compensation:
- The winning poet will receive a prize of $3,500.
- The winning work will be published, granting significant exposure and prestige to the poet.
- Note that there is no entry fee, but poets are responsible for any costs associated with creating and submitting their work.
