The Donegal Creameries North West Words Poetry Prize is in its fourth year.
Judge: Kate Newmann of Summer Palace Press
Deadline: 27 November
The maximum number of poems per entrant is 3.
Entry fee: €5 (covers maximum entry of up to 3 poems)
I think an entry of 3 poems is a very good idea. One poem is such a lottery.
This year’s competition also sees the introduction of a new category for best Irish Language poem. North West Words felt it was important to recognise the wealth of contemporary Irish language poetry being that exists in the country. The group partnered with Ealaín na Gaeltachta (the body responsible for the development of the Arts in the Gaeltacht regions), combined to develop an Irish language competition that would champion new poetry being written in our indigenous tongue.
The competition will have the same format as it’s English language counterpart with a prize of €250 to be awarded to the entrant who composes the best poem as Gaeilge. The winner will also receive a perpetual trophy.
