Welcome
Welcome to The Welsh Poetry Competition website.
The 2008 competition was officially launched at Clwb Y Bont, Pontypridd on St David's Day and our much awaited second international poetry competition is now open to one and all and accepting entries!
Such was the success of last years' competition that this year we have doubled the prize money and are offering the following prizes:
1st Prize - £200
2nd Prize - £100
3rd Prize - £50
The closing date for the 2008 competition is: Sunday 22nd June 2008.

Once again we should say that the competition is funded purely by the organisers and we receive no grants or funding from any external agencies whatsoever. So the London Olympics don't really effect us then!!!
If any libraries, writing groups, schools, universities, arts
organisations, poetry workshops, bookshops, art galleries,
councils etc. would like more information please let us know.
You can
email us or write to us at the usual address. We are more
than happy to post out entry forms to you. Also feel free to
download copies yourself as it saves us money and more money
goes to prizes next year.
Thank you
