RIGHTS

Students retain all rights to their work.  The work must be original and of the student’s own creation.  StarWallpaper has the right to use the poem in this anthology, and any reprints of StarWallpaper or Best Of StarWallpaper compilations.  The poet will always be given credit for their work.

 

STUDENTS WHO ARE PUBLISHED

Published students will have their poem appear in the anthology and receive two copies of the anthology.  Their teachers will be given copies of the anthology.  We would like to publish more students than we do but size constraints always limit the number of students we can include in the book.  Each year we choose some Honorable Mention poets.  These poets have written work that we would have included if we had a larger publication.  Honorable mention poets do not have a poem in the book but they will receive one copy of the book and are welcome to read at the publication release event.  Poets whose work appears in the book are also invited to read at the publication event.

 

DEADLINES

We set deadline dates for each issue.  The deadline for the 2005 issue is February 28, 2005.
