New this year:
This year you may submit the same poems to both the International Reuben Rose Poetry Competition and the Annual Anthology. Since you may submit any number of poems to the Poetry competition, on your cover page, mark clearly which (maximum of four) poems you are submitting to both the Anthology and the Reuben Rose. This means that even if you do not win a prize or a mention in the Reuben Rose Competition you will have a chance of having these poems published in the Anthology.
Submissions to both the Anthology and the Reuben Rose must be submitted both to John Dicks and to Helen Bar-Lev. Prize winners and Honorable Mentions are entitled to one free copy of the Anthology.
Joining Voices Israel at NIS100 or US$35– per year will entitle you to a copy of the Anthology at no extra charge, the monthly newsletters, participation in our monthly meetings in Jerusalem , Tel-Aviv and Haifa , participation in workshops. We welcome poets from abroad, and many are Voices members.
