The 2016 Poetry Marathon is currently closed to applications. We are in the process of emailing and orientating everyone who applied.

A little over 300 people have been accepted to participate in the Marathon. Once everyone from this round of acceptances is orientated we are hoping to open up applications again for a final time, for a two day period.

We are particularly hoping that a poet or writer currently living in South America or Antarctica will participate so that we will have poets writing on all seven continents. So if you fit that description, please sign up! If a friend of yours fits that description, please tell them about The Poetry Marathon.

We have a lot of repeat Marathoners this year. About half of the people who have signed up have participated in The Poetry Marathon, once or twice, or even three times before.

So keep your eyes peeled for when we re-open to applications.
