Fees-Free Entry for Gregory O'Donoghue International Poetry Competition
Ends on
In a social justice initiative, the Munster Literature Centre is offering free entries of two poems each for one hundred poets currently residing in a developing country (Africa, Central and South America, South East Asia, the Philippines, in the main) or in Ireland within the International Protection Accommodation Service who do not have the financial means to pay the entrance fee for this year’s Gregory O’Donoghue International Poetry Competition. The places are offered on a trust basis. If you can afford the fee, we implore you not to use this facility as you will be depriving someone who really needs it. Only one free entry of two poems per person is allowed. Anyone who submits more than one free entry of two poems will have all their entries disqualified. The entries will go through a preliminary reading process before reaching the judge.
You will need to upload two documents.
Cover letter:
- Your name
- Titles of your poem(s)
- Your complete postal address
- Your email address
- Your complete phone number (including country code)
Your poems:
- maximum of two, each with a maximum of 40 lines (Word / RTF / ODT – we cannot accept PDFs or weblinks such as Google Drive). As the competition is judged anonymously, we request that you do not write your name or personal details anywhere on this document.
No changes to entries can be made after they have been submitted. The Submittable portal is for fees-free entries only. For information on how to make a fees-paid entry and for more info on prizes and entry conditions, please go here: https://munsterlit.ie/odonoghue-competition/
