Congregation B’nai B’rith plans to publish a book of original poems written by members of the Santa Barbara community, from our youngest to our oldest. All proceeds will go to support CBB’s preschool -Beit Ha Yeladim. Not all poems submitted will be selected for the book. Judges will be looking for outstanding poems, especially those that celebrate experiences, values, and traditions of being Jewish.

• Poems may be rhymed or free-verse.
• Each entry should be the poet’s original work.
• If submitting hard copy, please type your poems on 8 ½” x 11” paper, double-spaced. If you prefer to submit your poems electronically, e-mail your poems as attachments in a Microsoft Word file.
• Previously published poems will be accepted.
• Submit two copies of each poem; one with your name and phone number and one copy without.
• Enclose the entry form with your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, plus a list of the title(s) of the poem(s) you are submitting.
