You may submit your entry in either Welsh or English. You may submit up to five entries in each language category. The two language categories will be judged separately and there will be a prize for each. Accompanying graphics are not permitted. There is a US150 dollars (approximately 100GBP ) prize for the winners in both categories. The final submission date is September 15th 2010 and the winners will be announced at the Eisteddfod ( October 2010 ). The judges are:- Peter Thabit Jones ( English Language Category ) and John Good ( Welsh Language Category ) . The judges decisions will be final. The winner ( and runners up ) in the English Language Category will be featured in "The Seventh Quarry", an international poetry magazine edited by Peter Thabit Jones. The winner will also receive a years subscription to the magazine.


All poetic styles and conventions are welcome ( limericks, however, will not be considered for a prize ) There is no upper or lower word limit. Entries need not reference Wales in any way , shape or form. You may submit up to four entries in each category and work which has appeared elsewhere is acceptable provided you have not surrendered your copyright.


The winner and his/her work will also be featured on this site on what we hope will be a heavily trafficked page.

Great idea!...If anyone wants to submit an mp3 of themselves reading their submission please feel free....so long as the text is there too.
Wild Canary Comment by Wild Canary on October 24, 2009 at 7:32pm
Thanks, all, for a pleasant moment reading the submissions. I wouldn't want to have to judge for the contest. The only thing better would be to hear the authors reading their poems. ( I listened to Robert Morgan author of Gap Creek and Boone do that on his web page...how'd he do that?)

Please feel free to comment on submissions. NO destructive criticism....it will be deleted. Words of encouragement and insightful comments more than welcome. Please try to have something meaningful to say....both myself and the site admins make enough fatuous and inane remarks on here as it is:)
