The Allied Arts Foundation Poetry Award is an annual award funded by the Allied Arts Foundation. Each year Floating Bridge Press’s editorial team will choose poems from submissions to our Evergreen Award Tour to pass on to a judge who will choose a winning poem. The winning poet will receive $250 and our hearty applause. Due to disruptions caused by the COVID pandemic, we’ve had to postpone the Evergreen Award Tour. However, the Allied Arts Foundation has graciously given us permission to use this award for poems selected from the FBP Chapbook Competition until we are able to reinstate our full-length competition.

Many thanks to the Allied Arts Foundation for sponsoring this award and bringing more poetry into the world.
