Contests
Since 2011, The Capilano Review has hosted its Annual Robin Blaser Contest, which began in 2011 to honour Robin Blaser’s role in the formation of West Coast poetics. Each year we invite a Canadian poet to draw on Blaser’s work to create a focus for the contest and to act as the contest judge. Past judges have included Daphne Marlatt, Soma Feldmar, Aisha Sasha John, and Wayde Compton.
The winning entry receives an award of $1000, plus publication in an upcoming issue of TCR.
