You've got until April 1 to enter this year's Wergle Flomp Humor Poetry Contest, sponsored by Winning Writers. We'll award cash prizes of $2,000, $500, and $250, and ten Honorable Mentions of $100 each. The top winner will also enjoy a two-year gift certificate from Duotrope (a $100 value). All 13 winners will enjoy free access to Chill Subs' Best plan (value: $200 per year), and their poems will be published on our website. There's no fee to enter.

This contest is recommended by Reedsy as one of the "Best Writing Contests of 2026".

Whether your poem is published or unpublished, or even if it has won a prize in a different contest, you may submit it to our contest.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.
