An accidental find:
The Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Memorial Fund

The Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Memorial Fund offers a poetry contest to award prizes to young poets with unusual promise. The first year of this writing contest was 2004. The Fund plans to disburse between $125,000 and $200,000 in "Dorothy Prizes" each year, reserving the right to adjust the size and number of awards to suit the quality and quantity of the submissions in any given year. The Fund also sponsors the Anna Davidson Rosenberg Awards for Poems on the Jewish Experience, and has endowed the Dorothy Rosenberg Memorial Prize in Lyric Poetry at the University of California, Berkeley.

The poetry prizes in memory of Dorothy Rosenberg will be awarded for the fifth time in 2008. Entries in the poetry competition must reach us by October 18, the third Saturday in October.
