Blue Dog Poetry Reviewing Competition [Australia]:
Poetry reviewing is at a low ebb at present. The number of reviews published continues to shrink alarmingly, and the quality of the reviews that appear is extremely variable, even in newspapers and journals of national significance. There are some excellent reviews being written, but there are also too many that, even when they praise the book being reviewed, show little genuine engagement with the book or its matter or stylistic concerns. This competition is intended to reverse these twin downward trends: to make it possible for readers to get a sense of what poetry is available, and what they might find if they open the books reviewed.
