DISCLAIMER: Often information is just that–information– and not necessarily recommendation. I haven’t worked with all the publications or other organizations featured on The Poet by Day.  Awards and contests are often (generally) a means to generate income, publicity and marketing mailing lists for the host organizations, some of which are more reputable than others. I no longer attend events.  Caveat Emptor: Please be sure to verify information for yourself before submitting work, buying products, paying fees or attending events et al.
