Competitions
We
aim to produce three anthologies a year, based on our Open
Competitions. Altogether, this gives an opportunity for 60-100 writers and illustrators to publish in book form. All the
competitions offer cash prizes and publication opportunities. The
anthologies will be promoted online and around the country, giving
winning writers a chance to profit from their success.
Please use the email
newsletter to receive competition details and
results as they are announced.
The
Rhymers' Web Poetry Competition is now closed and judging is in process.
Results will be announced on this page later in September.
