The magazine CV2 is dedicated to broadening the poetic community and publishing new poets. CV2 contests aim to get the readers of the magazine involved in the poetic community by submitting original work. The cost of an entry fee depends on the contest and may also include a one-year subscription to the magazine. The poems are then blindly read and judged by the staff at CV2. The winner(s) of a CV2 magazine contest can expect to have their submission published in an upcoming issue of CV2 magazine as well as a cash prize depending on the contest.
