Remember all those New Year resolutions you made a couple of weeks back that shone like diamonds in your mind and are now being tramped into the mud of the quotidian? Well, it’s time to dig up those gems and polish them off again.
Here’s a list of dates you should be working towards:
25/1/2013 – Strokestown Poetry Competition.
21/1/2013 – RTE Francis MacManus short story award.
28/2/2013 – RTE PJ O’Connor Award for radio drama.
1/03/2013 – Poetry Ireland / Trocaire Poetry Competition.
1/03/2013 – The White Review Prize.
31/3/2013 – The Moth Short Story competition.
05/4/2013 – The William Trevor / Elizabeth Bowen Short Story competition.
And don’t forget: Southword are taking submissions of poetry and short fiction up to 15/3/2013, and The Stinging Fly has changed its submissions policy recently – there is an initial window for submission of poems and stories during February 2013.
Now get to it!
