In 1975 the University of Massachusetts Press established the Juniper Prize for Poetry, an annual award for two selected manuscript of poems to be published by the Press. The award is named in honor of the poet Robert Francis (1901-1987), who for many years made his home at Fort Juniper in Amherst. The winning poets receive a prize of $1,000. All submissions are judged anonymously by a panel of distinguished poets. For more information and submission guidelines, click here.
