The Dunlavin Festival of Arts runs an annual poetry
competition, which, along with the short
story competition, forms the Adult Creative Writing section of
the festival. Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be
awarded (monetary value to be decided).
Entries must be original poetic works in the English
language, and there is no length or age restriction. There is
an entrance fee of €5 (five euro), per three poems (i.e. one, two
or three entries cost €5; four, five or six entries cost €10;
etc.). Cheques / Euro drafts should be made payable to the
Dunlavin Arts Festival.
A separate sheet giving your name, address and
contact phone number should accompany your entry. Please send
us copies of your poems as entries cannot be returned.
