The winners of both James Tate Prizes will win a chapbook publication and 10 complimentary copies. Both prizes may be shared. Up
to twelve finalists may be publicly listed as "highly commended".
Finalists may be offered publication at SurVision Books' discretion.
The competition will be open to new, emerging and established poets from any country writing in English from 1st June, 2024. We prefer innovative, experimental, surrealistic poetry to mainstream. To learn more about our preferences in poetry, please read SurVision Magazine. All the poems must be the original work of the entrant. Manuscripts can be between 24 and 32 pages of poetry in length, in the English language. This does not include the table of contents, title page and the list of acknowledgements, if any. Prose poems and translations of poetry are also eligible; all translations must be accompanied by the same work in the original language. Manuscripts of solely visual poetry are not eligible. Individual poems may be previously published in magazines, anthologies, or on social media, but not in the previously published books or chapbooks by the poet. Previously published or self-published chapbooks are not eligible. Authors with collections or chapbooks previously published by SurVision Books are not eligible. Entrants may enter more than one manuscript. There is an entrance fee of €18 for each manuscript. Submit additional manuscript(s) in a separate email(s) and include submission fee(s). All fees are waived for Ukrainian writers who had to leave their country because of the Russian invasion. The winners will be selected by the editors of SurVision Magazine. We will be accepting simultaneously submitted work but let us know immediately if your chapbook has been accepted for publication elsewhere. All finalists will be required to remove their work from simultaneous review upon notification. No corrections to submitted manuscripts or biographical notes will be considered until you hear from us that your manuscript has been accepted for publication. The winning chapbooks will be published by SurVision Books in late 2024 or early 2025. They will be offered for sale internationally through our own website and via selected independent book sellers.
