I have never got anywhere with this competition though I've sent them some of my very best stuff. I wonder are the submissions pre-selected? I'm not bitter. No. No.

The judges this year are Iggy McGovern and Michael Schmidt for English. for Duais Cholmcille, CaoimhĂ­n Mac Giolla Leith; and for the inaugural Percy French Prize for Comic Verse, Eleanor Tiernan
