Hawddamor!
If you think your work has what it takes to win then you might like to enter Cardiff's International Poetry Competition. This is one of the UK’s leading poetry competitions and offers one of the largest monetary prizes for a competition of its kind; with a first prize of £5000 you could even afford to make a donation to WOL!
The judges for Cardiff’s International Poetry Competition 2010 will be multi-award winning poet and short story writer – Jackie Kay, and from Anglesey – Zoë Skoulding, the editor of Poetry Wales.
Entries can be in any form or style, though they must be unpublished, no longer than 50 lines, and your own work. As well as that first prize of £5000, there is a second prize of £500, a third of £250, and five runners-up will each receive £50. The Cardiff International Poetry Competition is pleased to acknowledge the financial support of Cardiff Council.
