A smaller competition, with smaller prizes and consequentally a smaller number of entries.
Fee: 5 euro per poem
Prize: 300 Euro for the winner and 4 runners up of 50 Euro. 10 highly recommended poems get not cash, just the glory

Maximum length: 40 lines
Entry Form on the website
Judge: Peter Fallon
Peter is giving a reading on Sunday 27th July at the Royal Hotel at 12.30pm.

This will be followed by a workshop.
The Boyle Arts Festival will also include readings by John Banville, Bernard MacLaverty and local writers
