Lilith magazine invites submissions of edgy, exciting poetry touching in any way on Jewish women's experience for the second annual The Charlotte Newberger Prize in Jewish Women's Poetry at Lilith. Winning poets will receive a cash award, publication in the renowned independent Jewish women’s magazine, and the possibility of a public reading.

For 29 years, Lilith magazine has been one of the rare publications to feature poetry alongside its investigative reports, scholarship, memoirs and fiction. This first-ever poetry prize at Lilith is named for a woman who has been a longtime supporter of the arts in Chicago and on the national scene.

"LILITH'S commitment to publishing poetry is an essential dimension of the magazine's creativity, and shows a recognition that poetry by Jewish women, on Jewish themes, is a burgeoning aspect of American—and Jewish--culture," said poet Alicia Ostriker. "Lilith is uniquely wonderful as a source for Jewish girls and women of all ages."

Submission instructions:
--Poets are invited to submit up to three poems, in hard copy only.
--Each poem not to exceed 100 lines in length.
--Include name and contact information, including e-mail and phone numbers, on each page submitted.
