The National Baseball Poetry Festival, based in Worcester, MA, is seeking contest submissions for 2026.
The festival, now entering its fourth year, is issuing a call for baseball- and softball-themed poems from adults and young writers.
The contests have already logged more than 120 adult entries and more than 60 youth entries so far this year, along with a growing participation from poets outside the U.S., including from Canada, Israel, Italy, British Virgin Islands, India, Nigeria and Turkey.
The adult submission deadline is March 27 and the youth deadline April 17.
