APPLY BY MAIL: Mail the completed application form, three of your best poems, with $25 non-refundable reading fee and $200 tuition deposit to PBPF Workshops, 3199 B-3 Lake Worth Road, Lake Worth, FL 33461. Postmark deadline, November 2, 2009.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: November 16, 2009
WORKSHOP PREFERENCES: List up to 4 workshops you will attend and pay for upon acceptance. After our reader selects qualified manuscripts, we use blind lotteries to fill the seats. 90% of our applicants are placed in their first or second choice workshop, but we cannot guarantee such placement.
PAYMENT POLICY: Every application must be accompanied by $25 non-refundable reading fee and $200 tuition deposit. Your deposit will be refunded if you withdraw your application prior to acceptance, or, if you are not accepted into one of the workshops listed on your application.
Tuition balance is payable upon acceptance. Acceptances will be e-mailed by November 15th. Should the balance of the tuition remain unpaid for forty-eight hours after acceptance, your seat will be awarded to another qualified applicant and your deposit will be forfeited. Once you pay in full, the workshop seat is reserved for you. All sales are final.
CANCELLATION POLICY: After you have paid for the workshop, should you have to cancel for any reason, we will exercise our best efforts to find a qualified poet to replace you. If we can do so, we will refund your tuition. If we cannot replace you, we will not refund your tuition payment. The later the cancellation date, the more difficult it is for staff to find a qualified participant. Though we do recognize that emergencies happen, and we will do our best to help you, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to replace you in the event of a cancellation.
