The 2010 Book & Pamphlet Competition
The Poetry Business is now inviting entries for its 24th Book & Pamphlet Competition, to be judged by award winning poet Simon Armitage. And, thanks to sponsorship from the National Association for Writers in Education, the prize this year totals £2000.
Entrants are invited to submit a collection of 20-24 pages of poems for the chance to win a share of the prize money; three first stage winners will receive pamphlet publication and an overall winner will have their book published by Smith/Doorstep Books.
In addition, entrants with a Sheffield postcode will automatically be entered into the Sheffield Poetry Prize category. The best single poem from their collection could win them £100, publication in ‘The North’ magazine, and an opportunity to read their winning poem at a ‘Poetry Business’ reading.
The deadline for entries is last post on 29th November, 2010, or 1st December for online entries. There is an entry fee of £25, or £20 for subscribers to ‘The North’ and friends of the Poetry Business, and there is a £1 surcharge for online entries.
