‘ … a fine advert for competitions, which I think should give a hand to the unknown but good.

We keep all the entries and cover sheets filed in ring binders. Please help us by not sending poems or entrant details on postcards, small scraps of paper, or anything else that can't easily be punched and filed. Our system revolves around A4.

Entering by post

Please note that entries for the 2009 competition are now closed.

Here's what you need to do

  • Read the conditions of entry carefully, and follow them to the letter.

  • Download the entry form to send with your entry.

  • Double check that you are not identified on your poem/s. We're constantly amazed by how many people send in entries with their names on, which we have to disqualify.

  • Make sure that you have included either your email address or a stamped, self-addressed envelope (marked 'results'). We want send you a breakdown of the results even if you're not among the winners.

  • If you want a free, tick box critique, you'll need to enclose an SAE for it, and mark it 'TB'. To qualify, your entry must be postmarked before November 1st.

  • Please make your cheque out to The Plough Arts Centre. 

  • Put your poem/s, entry form, SAEs (if sent) and payment in a strong envelope (ideally one into which your entry will fit without being folded more than once). Please be sure to stamp it correctly - we receive a large number of understamped entries, which will normally be returned to sender unopened. Please do not reinforce your envelope heavily with tape: it's not necessary, and we'll have to use scissors to open it, risking damage to the contents.

  • Send it to:
