Set in ten acres of organic market gardens, orchards and greenhouses, which are, in turn, surrounded by a hundred acres of organic farm, Darina Allen’s Ballymaloe Cookery School is the proud sponsor of the Ballymaloe International Poetry Prize, in association with The Moth.
This year’s judge – Billy Collins – is a two-term US Poet Laureate and ‘the most popular poet in America,’ according to the New York Times.
The Prize is for a single unpublished poem. The competition is open to anyone, and you can enter as many poems as you like.
The entry fee is €12 per poem.
Or you can send your poem(s) along with a cheque or postal order made payable to The Moth Magazine Ltd. and an entry form or a cover letter with your name and contact details and the title of poem(s) attached to: The Moth, Ardan Grange, Milltown, Belturbet, Co. Cavan, Ireland.
The shortlist will be announced in March 2016.
The four shortlisted poems will feature in the spring issue of The Moth.
