Added: April 2010 to Events, Festivals and Opportunities
The Manchester Writing School at Manchester Metropolitan University is launching the second Manchester Poetry Prize - a major international literary competition celebrating excellence in creative writing. The Manchester Poetry Prize is open internationally and will award a cash prize of £10,000 to the writer of the best portfolio of poetry submitted. The competition is open to entrants aged 16 or over; there is no upper age limit.
All entrants are asked to submit a portfolio of three to five poems (total maximum length 120 lines). The poems can be on any subject, and written in any style, but must be new work, not published or submitted for consideration elsewhere.
