Okay so it looks like THIS is turning into the Submitter Thread, so I'll post this in here. Check this out, guys:
https://firstthings.com/poetryprize/
First Things is a pretty serious intellectual magazine that's very Catholic-heavy but not exclusively so. It bills itself as "America's foremost journal of religion and public life." They're also one of the few venues left that seriously pays for poetry. I got a poem published by them once and they paid me $100, and this was years before inflation.
So they're having a poetry contest. Check the prizes: $2000 for first place, $1000 for second place. Like I said, serious money. Serious judges, too: at least one of them, Dana Gioia, is a fairly formidable poet who has championed the return of form and meter to serious poetry.
Entry deadline is June 30th, so you have until Sunday at midnight to submit. Get cracking, fellow poets.
