Here's a poetry contest with a $1500 first prize, but winning may be an honor not wanted, and certainly not to be bragged about.

I got an honorable mention in 2003, IIRC. Whatever the year was before they started giving honorable mentions money. I got a t-shirt and a certificate. Big hairy deal.
The poem I submitted this year was lost in my most recent computer crash. Good riddance. The only way I'll ever see it again is if it wins, places or shows. That'll be entirely too soon.
