The Humor Award was created and funded by the N.W. Dible Foundation in honor of Bill Hickok, past president of the Foundation. Our interests are in writing grounded in fresh language, imagery, and metaphor. Although we tend to prefer free verse, we want the writer to pay attention to the sound and rhythm of the language. We like poetry with individual voice. We like a good lyric or a strong narrative. We like topics that are different and interesting or common topics with a different perspective or approach.
