OK, I can't read this. It says:

Now 35 Euro is quite steep for an entry fee. And in my personal opinion, Cork/Munster based poets are more favourably viewed. The CorkLit scene is known for being pretty insular.

Bradshaw books. Who have they published. Chuck Kruger. Geraldine Mills Tony O'Dwyer, Michael McCarthy , Roderick Ford, John W Sexton, Tommy Frank O'Connor etc etc

I can't seem to find out if this ran last year, who won.

I can't find Bradshaw Books on the web nor any publicity for who won the poetry manuscript competition before. How do they expect to sell any?
Also is there prize money as well as publication?
35 Euro is steep and I for one won't be entering.
