2024 Finalist Videos (in no particular order)

Each year, contestants submit their original poetry with the hope of securing a book deal. A diverse panel of Write Bloody editors, poets, and judges conduct a blind reading to select 24 finalists for the next round.

In the final round, finalists are required to submit a video of themselves reading one original piece. This video complements a preliminary manuscript of 20 poems, which will also be judged until only a select few remain.

Here are the video submissions from the 2024 finalists.
