Hugh Ó Flaherty Literary and Art Competitions 2013

Hugh Ó Flaherty Memorial Week/Literary and Art Competitions 2013

Here's an interesting one I came across on the Poetry Ireland info page and seems to be free to enter. Though check out at www.killarney.ie . Now, it has its own website on the competitions page above but it doesn't seem to load properly from this site. The closing date or deadline for entries is the 20th of September, and fast approaching, but you have the option of email as well as the post office. E-mail is to: jerry@killarney.ie and the postal address is: Hugh Ó Flaherty Competitions c/o Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce  2nd Floor Tourist Information Office Beech Road  Killarney County Kerry. Ireland

Wow, that was a long one! Now there are a number of different competitions but if poetry is your thing  you need to reflect in some way on the life work of the Monsignor and details with regard to rules and conditions can be found on the above sites. An interesting and larger than life figure Monsignor Hugh Ó Flaherty is perhaps best remembered as the Vatican Pimpernel for his war time exploits and a visit over to youtube will get you a sense of this with Gregory Peck playing the role in "The Scarlet and The Black" There are five competitions in all,  but as I said check out!
