The Ballymaloe International Poetry Prize 2015!

The Ballymaloe International Poetry Prize 2015!


The closing date for the above is the 31st of December 2015 and while that is a while away I'd imagine you'd need a pretty good poem to win it as the prize is sure to attract a number of entries from the four corners. Not a requirement as they say but they strongly advise you purchase of a copy of the above magazine before submitting your entries. The prize is open to anyone and is no less than €10,000 for the winner with 3 runner up prizes of €1000 and you can enter as many poems as you like, though the entry fee is €12 per poem. Shortlisted winners will be notified by the end of February 2016 and their poems published in the March 2016 issue of The Moth. You can enter online or by the postal route but check out the details on their site at Here and good luck! Plenty of time for inspiration to strike, or the muse return!
