JUDGE: Simon Armitage. (A personal hero of mine)
DEADLINE: Last post on 29 November 2012, or online by midnight on 1 December.
ENTRY FEE: £25, or £20 for North subscribers and Friends of the Poetry Business. A £1 surcharge is applied to online entries.
The Book & Pamphlet Competition invites entrants to
submit a collection of 20-24 pages of poems for the chance to win a cash
prize and publication by Smith/Doorstop Books.
Four first stage winners are selected and given the
opportunity to submit a full-length manuscript to the second round of
the competition, in which one of them can win book publication. The
three first-stage winners receive pamphlet publication.
All four winners will receive an equal share of £2,000,
and have a launch reading at The Wordsworth Trust, Grasmere (Spring
2013) and read alongside Simon Armitage at the 2013 Off The Shelf
Festival in Sheffield.
The winning collections are beautifully produced, widely
promoted, reviewed in high quality poetry magazines and
nationalnewspapers, and entered for all eligible awards and prizes. The
collections are also launched at high profile readings and distributed
via bookshops across the UK.
Consequently, many previous years’ competition winners
have gone on to achieve glittering careers; including Mimi Khalvati,
Michael Laskey, Patrick McGuinness, Allison McVety, Pascale Petit,
Kathryn Simmonds and Catherine Smith.
