Do you know if this is open to people outside Ireland? Someone who follows my blog was asking! Thanks.
I really don't know. Sorry
No worries, thanks.
Hi 120Socks, I was at the writers work-shop last year ( top 100 not top 10 :-( ) ; We were told that entries were received from overseas ( US & NZ I believe)
however I don't think any of the attendees of the workshop came from overseas;
and the top 10 were all Irish:

Plus it is sponsored by Penguin Ireland, and I assume they are looking for new Irish talent.
So, to be honest, I don't think it is really an international competition,
but it is free to enter, you just won't get any personal feedback unless you win.
