It doesn’t cost anything to enter the contest, or to make an entry to the paper.
I am the Creative Writing Editor for the Street Sights newspaper, and I extended the deadline so that we would get more entries.
The reason that the contest is limited to Rhode Island is to enable the people in our newspapers distribution area a chance to win.
However, if anyone anywhere has a poem that they would like put in our newspaper, feel free to send one in.

    And what’s the cost to enter? Are you a legitimate representative of the organization for which you are advertising. This seems fishy.

    The website itself states:

    “Contest Rules – All entries MUST meet the following guidelines:
    It must be an original unpublished poem 250 words or less. Poems must be titled, and have the author’s full name and a reachable contact telephone number or email address. All entries MUST be legible (neatly hand-printed or typed). Street Sights Staff are not eligible to participate.

    All entries can be given to any Street Sight’s staff member, or brought to the Coalition for the Homeless at 160 Broad St., or brought to one of our meetings which are held at 33 Chestnut Street, Providence, on Wednesdays and Sundays from 4-5 pm., or put in any of our drop boxes at Amos House, McAuley House, Crossroads, or Oasis. You can also e-mail your entries to us at .

    The last day for entries is Wed. Sept. 20, 2009! Winners will be posted in the October issue of Street Sights.

    Street Sights publishes poems, art and creative writing every month! To see a wider sampling of art created by Street Sights readers and staff, visit our Creative Works page here.”

    So how can you jump the gun and post a different date?

    Just curious……
