About the Stephen A. DiBiase Poetry Prize:
The annual Stephen A. DiBiase Poetry contest began with a call for submissions in late 2015. We had our initial first prize winner, Dawn Marar of Delmar New York, and other prize winners announced in the Spring of 2016. Although most of our submissions were from New York State in the beginning, the contest has become increasingly international in scope with entrants from about 40 different countries each year. Many of our prize winners have been from the international pool of submissions. In general, the quality of the submissions has increased each year.
