Selection
No member of the Friendly Street Poets Inc Board of Management will be involved in the selection of manuscripts. An outside assessor will be appointed by that Board.
The Judge's decision will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.
Should no manuscripts of publishable standard be received, or should there be insufficient funds to meet publication costs, the Board reserves the right to take any of the following actions: cancel publication of the New Poets volume, defer publication until three manuscripts of publishable standard are received and funds are available, widen the eligibility criteria, or call for further submissions. However, as judging must take place before these decisions are made, there will be no refund of entry fees.
