About the magazine

Humans Of The World is a literary platform that operates primarily through its online presence at howblog.org. While detailed institutional history is not widely documented, the organization has established itself as a recurring presence in the poetry contest circuit, offering modest cash awards and publication opportunities. Its ethos appears to be rooted in accessibility and global participation, inviting poets from diverse backgrounds to engage with timely themes. The Summer Poetry Contest, with a $450 prize, exemplifies its commitment to supporting poets at various stages of their careers, though the scale remains intimate compared to larger institutional prizes.

Submitting your work

Reading periodVaries

Poets interested in submitting to Humans Of The World's contests should carefully review the guidelines on howblog.org, as specific requirements may vary by call. Generally, expect a focus on accessible, thematically resonant work. Given the modest prize amounts, consider this a opportunity for publication and exposure rather than significant financial reward. Ensure your submission adheres to any stated theme and formatting rules, and be mindful of deadlines. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with past winners or published pieces, if available, to gauge the aesthetic preferences of the editors.
