Cantor Award
Starting this year, Talking Gourds will be offering a $500 Cantor Award to the winning poem from a Colorado poet who enters the Fischer Prize competition. The award will be in addition to any other prize given in the contest -- the $1000 winning prize or any of the five $200 finalist prizes. However, if no Colorado poet receives any of the national prizes, the award will go to the best poem by a Colorado poet chosen by our judge this year, Joan Logghe.
