THE IBPC BOARDS

 

 

Welcome to the IBPC, home of the the InterBoard Poetry Competition and IBPC Newswire. We hope to provide continued assistance, incentive, and an environment which is conducive to the continual growth, in both quality and popularity, of poetry on the Internet. See our "About" page for a more detailed description of how and why we came to be and where we're headed.

In these web pages you will find the monthly winners of the IBPC, bios of our volunteer judges, and commentary on selected poems. Check for announcements in our "Newswire", a newsletter of news and articles about and by the poets on our participating boards. You can also view the framework of our competition...our rules, bylaws and archives.

Please direct any questions or suggestions to Gina Bryson at ibpc@webdelsol.com.

If you are an editor of a print magazine or journal and would like to volunteer to judge for the IBPC, please send a letter of interest and brief bio to Gina Bryson.
