Submit Your Poetry

Terms and Conditions
 

All entries will be judged anonymously.

Worldwide copyright of each entry remains with the author, but IslamicPoetry.org will have the unrestricted right to publish any submitted poems on the IslamicPoetry.org website where they will remain indefinitely or as part of a printed collection by a Muslim book publisher of our choice.

No corrections can be made after receipt, nor fees refunded (in Mail or fax submissions). Once your entries are successfully submitted to our system you will be sent a confirmation email from ourselves. Receipt of this confirmation is subject to the provision of your correct email address and your email account being capable of accepting new mail (and not over quota or using a restrictive anti-spam device, etc.).

You are responsible for completing the submission process correctly and alerting us to any problems you encounter. IslamicPoetry.org accepts no liability for poems not received due to a failure on your part to follow the online instructions correctly.

The judges’ decision is final and no individual correspondence can be entered into.

Entrants must be contactable at the email address they provide at the time of judging. Winners who do not respond to email contact will still be pronounced winners but will forfeit their prize if they do not claim it within 30 days of the results being published on the website.

Prize winners will be notified by email once judging is complete. Judging will begin when the competition closes and may last a few months. The list of prize-winners will be displayed on the website. Prizes will be paid in US dollars unless otherwise decided. All deadlines, including the closing date, date of announcement, etc., may be postponed by IslamicPoetry.org without notice or consultation in order to ensure enough time to raise sufficient revenue to cover costs.

Entry implies acceptance of all the terms and conditions.
