Last year's winner was Cliona O’Connell.
Caveat: I don't think Bradshaw books are very good at publicity....not sure how many books they actually sell. I don't see Cliona's collection, White Space, on the Bradshaw books site. This is my own, personal opinion though!

Psst! Closing date is 19/06!
"The closing date for the competition is 5.30pm on the 19th June 2012 (deadline extended from 18th May 2012)."
Also €20 entry fee is a little steep!

Thanks Eve. Fees for collections tend to be on the steep side.
