The Milwaukee Poetry Contest ends Friday, Sept. 29 at midnight. First place is a $100 gift certificate to Schwartz Bookshops, which is a lot of pages. Or a lot of lattes, if you're more into beans than books.

Need a little refresher about the contest? Sure:

  • The contest runs from Tuesday, Sept. 19 through Friday, Sept. 29.

  • Poems may be any length or style, but must be about Milwaukee or contain the word "Milwaukee." Only one submission per poet, please.

  • The first prize is a $100 gift certificate from Schwartz Bookshops. The runner up receives an OnMilwaukee.com gift pack. Both winners will be featured in an OnMilwaukee.com article and have their poems published on the site.

  • Winners will be notified the week of Oct. 2.

  • Writers can submit poems via e-mail to poetry@staff.onmilwaukee.com.
