Submission Guidelines 

Sublimation Annual

Formatting and Submitting Poetry

Upload to Duosuma one previously unpublished speculative poem as a Pages, Word, RFT, or TXT file. Only use PDF if your poem has special formatting. Make sure that there is no poet identification in your file (including filename). Suitable filenames are “Contest.Title” in which “Title” is the title of your poem. You can send only one poem per entry. Extra poems after the first will be ignored. If you wish to send several poems, you must create a new entry submission for each one. There is a modest fee of €2 to cover the prize and the cost of creating the hardback special edition that the winner will receive. 


There is no theme for this contest, but poems that are not speculative (sci-fi/fantasy/horror) probably will not get shortlisted, so make sure that your poem really is speculative in nature.
