Congratulations to Our Contest Winners!

Today Team Oprelle is so very proud to proclaim the Winners of our “Matter 2021” Poetry Contest. If you are a Winner, Short Listed, or a Finalist – your poem is about to become part of a beautiful anthology of poetry entitled:
Matter II - Award Winning Poetry.

We just can’t say enough about your entries to this contest. There were so many high caliber poems, that our judges really struggled over choosing those to be published. It was evident, that everyone did “write their soul.” Each of your contributions were genuine and heartfelt, and we wished that we could have chosen all of them!

Please keep writing, all you beautiful souls. You have something to give this world. Without further ado, Oprelle Publications is very proud to announce the 2021 Matter Poetry Contest Winners
