Now in its third year, the SPM Publications Poetry Book Competition 2017 is inviting entries.
The competition is for full-length poetry collections. There are first, second and third prizes of £300, £200 and £100 and a standard publishing contract. Each winner will receive twenty copies of their published collection.
For the first stage of the competition, submit twenty pages of original, unpublished poems under a pen name. Poems may be of any length and on any subject. A shortlist of five will be asked to submit their full collections, which may include poems previously published in magazines, journals and anthologies.
