Note: I misplaced the piece of paper talking about it, so I tried to find if there was any prize money for the winner and I found a similar contest that also offered reviews at Poetry Contest/1501 Broadway/12th Floor Z/ NY, NY 10036.  They offer a $2000 top prize.  You can find out more at http://www.eberandwein.com/poetry-contest.php.  Same basic setup as the one in H, but it's deadlines are at the end of December and June. (Continuous submissions.)
