HE HELEN HAIRE LEVINSON PRIZE of Two Hundred Dollars, and two prizes of One Hundred Dollars each will be awarded next November for poems published in POETRY during its fourth year—October, 1915—September, 1916.

A prize of One Hundred Dollars is offered by the Players' Producing Co. for a one-act play in metrical or free verse, the play to be American in substance and actable. Manuscripts must reach the POETRY office before March 1, 1916.

The name of the author must not be written on the manuscript, but, with the title of the play, on a separate slip of paper. This, with a self-addressed stamped envelope large enough to contain the play, must be enclosed in a sealed blank envelope, and sent in the same package as the play. The committee reserves the right to withhold the prize if nothing suitable is found.

The word "American" in the above requirements is meant to exclude historic and classic subjects of the past, and is not to be more narrowly construed. A play dealing with, or symbolizing, life unlocalized would be sufficiently American.
