As we do every year, we're preparing to edit and publish an anthology based on poems we've heard at our events. This year we're also running a competition, with publication in "A Barrel of Monkeys", our 2016 anthology, as one of the prizes. It's open to all.

PRIZES:
The overall winner will receive: 
  • A cash prize of £50.00.
  • A 20-page chapbook of their poems, and 10 free copies of it, with the option to order more.  
All poems long-listed will be published in "A Barrel of Monkeys" and entrants receive a free copy of the book if they have a poem in it.

Alwyn Marriage of Oversteps Books will be making the final selection of the winning poems. Alwyn is an award-winning poet and the author or editor of eight books; her poetry, articles and reviews are published widely in newspapers, magazines and journals. She gives poetry readings all over Britain and abroad. More information is on her website:  http://www.marriages.me.uk/alwyn.html​  and here: http://www.poetrypf.co.uk/alwynmarriagepage.html 

Deadline for submissions:
​

The winner and the long-list of successful entries will be posted on our website and the authors notified by April 30th 2016. "A Barrel of Monkeys" will be published in June 2016.
