Once your work has been submitted, you will be redirected to our secure payment website. Submissions will not be considered without an accompanying payment.

If you are not redirected for payment, chances are you accidentally submitted through the regular submission channel. If this is the case, withdraw your poem and resubmit, being careful to select the Wabash Prize option.  In the event the automatic redirect doesn’t work, or you have any problems getting to the payment area, try this direct link.
