Judging Process
* Manuscripts postmarked from March 1 through October 15. These are logged into a database by an assistant not associated with the reading process that registers the personal address information of the entrant, the title of the manuscript, and assigns it a number. Manuscripts are kept in the Marick Press office and signed out to the readers, who are editors or board members (the editorial board) and other published poets associated with the Marick Press Poetry Prize.
* Decisions about advancement of manuscripts are made as a board. Only 10 to 15 finalist manuscripts are sent to the final judge. This year only 10 manuscripts were sent to the Judge.
* After the judge has selected the winner, we compile lists of the semifinalists and finalists to be included in the notification letter, which goes out to all entrants who have supplied a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
* The press may select or not select finalists for publication.
* The Press will announce finalists and the winner of Marick Press Poetry Prize on March 15.
