: I read on one of the messages that if you get your poetry punlished, the publisher may take care of the copywriting fees. Does this count poetry contest which promise to publish the winning poems?

Dear Chris,
What you create is protected under the law. In order to properly enforce that protection the copyright has to be registered.

My guess is that not only is the copyright not registered, but that unless there is a proper copyright notice on the work, some rights of enforcement may be lost.
