Writing Competition: Creative Writing Ink Poetry Prize 2023

Creative Writing Ink Poetry Prize 2023

The Creative Writing Ink Poetry Prize 2023 is open internationally for poetry entries!

The deadline for receipt of all entries is May 31, 2023 at 4pm (GMT).

Entries will only be accepted through Submittable.

Entries can be on any subject, theme or genre.

Entry fee: €6 for first entry, €5 for each subsequent entry. You can submit multiple entries as long as each entry is paid for individually and includes a separate entry form.

Poems must not exceed 42 lines.

All entries are judged anonymously. Please do not include your name, address, phone number, email, website, social media details, etc. on the poem document or in the file name as this will result in disqualification.
 
THE COMPETITION

From the Entries submitted, the judges will draw up a longlist of up to twenty (20) Entries. The judges will then reduce this to a shortlist of three (3) outstanding Entries, from which they will select the winning Entry. Creative Writing Ink reserves the right to increase or reduce the number of Entries selected for the longlist and shortlist at their sole discretion.

First prize is €1,000, an online creative writing course with Creative Writing Ink, and publication on our website, and this will be presented to the author of the best, eligible Entry in the opinion of the judges.

The prize money will be transferred to the bank account of the winning Entrant and runners-up Entrants only. 

The judging panel will be appointed by the Competition Director in association with Creative Writing Ink and will include a representative from Creative Writing Ink as well as members of the literary community. Published poet Eileen Casey will be the final judge. Creative Writing Ink reserves the right to change the panel of judges without notice.

The Entry Form, poem and payment must be completed and submitted by 4pm (GMT) on May 31, 2023.
