The Fool for Poetry International Chapbook Competition 2018 is open for entries.
The first prize is €1,000 and the second, €500. One of the winners will be a debutant poet who has not previously published a chapbook or collection. Both winners will have their chapbooks published by Southword editions and be offered a reading, and three nights’ accommodation, at the Cork 2019 International Poetry Festival.
To enter, send between 16 and 25 pages of original poetry (verse or prose) as a doc attachment. The poet’s name must not appear on the manuscript. Include a cover letter, with details of name, chapbook title, email and postal addresses and phone number, as a separate attachment if entering by email and a separate page if entering by post. Email entrants should use the subject line FFP entry 2018.
