Magma Poetry Competition

The Magma poetry competition is open for entries. There's very sound advice here from the judge Dalgit Nagra about this competition but on entering competitions in general. Read it.

Deadline: 19 January 2016

Daljit Nagra is the Judge for the Judge’s Prize for poems of 11 to 50 lines.
First prize £1,000, second prize £300 and third prize £150.

Magma’s Editors’ Prize is also open over the same period for poems of up to ten lines:
First prize £1,000, second prize £300 and 10 special mentions £15.

In addition to receiving attractive cash prizes, winners will be invited to read at Magma’s prize-giving event in Spring 2015. The five prize winning entries will be published in the magazine.

The entry fees are £5 for the first poem, £4 for the second and £3.50 for the third and each subsequent poem. Magma magazine subscribers benefit from reduced fees: £4 for the first poem, £3 for the second, and £2.50 for the third and each subsequent poem.
