The Munster Literature Centre (based in Cork, Ireland) is calling for poets worldwide to enter the 2012 Gregory O'Donoghue International Poetry Competition. Original, unpublished poems in English, up to 40 lines, can be on any theme and in any style.
This new competition honours the late Irish poet, Gregory O'Donoghue, and will be judged by Cork-based writer and publisher, Patrick Cotter - who will read every single entry himself (whew!). The great cash prizes are supplemented by publication Literature Centre's Southword, and first prize could even see you in Cork for the Spring Literary Festival. What more could you possibly want?!
Entry fee: EUR5 per poem or EUR20 for 5 poems
Prize: First Prize: EUR1000, plus publication in Southword and a contribution towards travel costs to attend the Cork Spring Literary Festival. Second prize: EUR500 plus publication, 3rd prize: EUR250 plus publication. Ten runners up will be published and receive EUR30 publication fee.
