I certainly get what you're saying. <br /><br />A couple of things to bear in mind<br />- some competitions exclude writers who are previously published/have a collection<br />- the bigger the prize, the more enter it. <br />- the more prestigious the prize/ more well known, the more likely widely published writers will enter (they don't always win)<br />- the more local a competition, the more chance they will favour the locals. <br />In all cases, if you can check the previous winners, that should give you an idea of your chancesEmerging Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539530495238043923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684536971172270103.post-42265352787489114692011-08-21T09:35:58.393+01:002011-08-21T09:35:58.393+01:00Hi Mari, Well the Poetry Chicks are well worth a l...Hi Mari, Well the Poetry Chicks are well worth a look anyway!

Anothe...FAB! Great that the word tent is so strong!<br />Another topic really - but - perhaps you could write something about poetry competitions that market themselves as for 'emerging' or 'new' writers? I entered one and the long list reveals a host of published writers, well known and well established performance poets, winners of prestigious competitions such as Hennesey and Fish. Also a good number of local poets, known to the organisers. I won't be entering with them again - but I do feel cheated. I am emerging/unpublished/new at this writing game, obviously I should include 'naive' to that list. Any wise words, as you have moved beyond emerging yourself, now you are staring at electric picnic.<br />(I saw this competition on your blog, and followed the link, I am a 'follower' of your excellent blog)<br />Tanx, SNPPaddiescripthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08213732180495703362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684536971172270103.post-74376833100687832632011-08-21T00:47:32.753+01:002011-08-21T00:47:32.753+01:00Hi Kate
