The Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize supports the publication of a first
full-length book of poems by a Latinx poet residing in the United States.
Established in 2004 by Letras Latinas at the University of Notre Dame’s
Institute for Latino Studies, the prize is now administered by the Huizache
Literary Initiative at UC Davis.

The winning poet will receive $1000 from the Huizache Literary Initiative
and a contract from University of Nevada Press as part of its New Oeste
Series. Upon publication of the winning book, the Huizache Literary
Initiative will extend an invitation to both the winner and the judge to
give a joint reading at UC Davis. In addition, Letras Latinas will extend
an invitation to the winner to present their work at the University of
Notre Dame.

The Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize is awarded every other year. There is no
entry fee. Submissions will open on November 1, 2023.

The deadline is February 16, 2024

Judge: Juan Felipe Herrera

ABOUT THE ANDRÉS MONTOYA POETRY PRIZE

The Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize was created in 2004 by Letras Latinas, the
literary initiative of the Institute for Latino Studies at the University
of Notre Dame to honor Montoya and his work. Founding coordinator Francisco
Aragón wrote about the formation of the prize in 2007 on the Letras Latinas
blog
<http://letraslatinasblog.blogspot.com/2007/06/letras-latinas-announcment.html>
.

Created at a time when publishing opportunities for Latinx poets were few,
the Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize established itself as a key outlet for
emerging Latinx poets. Winners have reflected a broad range of backgrounds
and aesthetic styles and have gone on to prolific and decorated careers.
Judges of the Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize have included the most prominent
voices in Latinx literature, including current U.S. Poet Laureate Ada
Limón, National Book Award winner Martín Espada, and foundational poets
such as Francisco X. Alarcón and Rhina P. Espaillat. The judge for the
upcoming prize will be Juan Felipe Herrera, former California and U.S. Poet
Laureate as well as one of Andrés’s mentors.

The prize provides a space for artists who, while part of the largest and
fastest growing minority in the United States, are also increasingly
diverse in their modes of literary expression. The prize, therefore, does
not privilege any particular style, subject matter, or aesthetic.
