Strokestown International Poetry Prize 2005 [Ireland]:
A rare opportunity for poor poets to enrich themselves, this competition offers €4000, €2000 and €1000 for an unpublished poem in English of up to 70 lines.

The Irish language poetry competition has been expanded so that, in 2005, poets who write in Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx, which are essentially variants of the same language, will be able to enter for prizes of equal value, thanks to the generosity of Iomairt Cholm Cille/The Columba Initiative. The competition is therefore truly international, multicultural and multilingual.

Poets and versifiers of a sardonic, satiric or cynical bent can enter for the €500, €200, €100 and other backhanders which the poet and wit Iggy McGovern will award for the best political and topical satire.

Closing date: Wednesday, 16th February 2005. Entry forms can be printed from the website www.strokestownpoetryprize.com or requested from Strokestown poetry Festival Office, Strokestown, Co. Roscommon, Ireland or from slawe @ eircom. net
Yes, that's right: Strokestown. And this from their Philosophy page:
By offering large prizes, it hopes to line the pockets of imaginative and unwise spenders, and to report later on how they did spend it.
