The 25th annual Wergle Flomp Humor Poetry Contest, sponsored by Winning Writers, will award prizes of $2,000, $500, $250, and ten Honorable Mentions of $100 each. The winner will also enjoy gifts
from our
co-sponsors: a two-year gift certificate from Duotrope (a $100 value) and five years of Chill Subs' Best plan (a $1,000 value). The top 13 poems are published on our website. There's no fee to enter.
This contest has been recommended by Reedsy as one of the "Best Writing Contests of 2025".
Whether your poem is published or unpublished, or even if it has won a prize in a different contest, you may submit it to our contest. Jendi Reiter
will judge, assisted by Lauren Singer. See the past winning poems and the judges' remarks.
One poem only, please. Submit online.
