Poetry Competitions, Submissions & Opportunities – April 2024

Happy Easter everyone – I hope you are all enjoying the bank holiday weekend!! With the arrival of Spring and longer evenings, this month also brings over 150 poetry competitions, writing submissions and opportunities open or with deadlines in April 2024.

To celebrate April 1st or All Fool’s Day, a new monthly writing prompt on the blog invites you to takes a dive into the mysteries of the The Fool card in the Rider-Waite tarot deck to explore all things carefree and foolish.

This month is also National Poetry Writing Month or NaPoWriMo and the new 30-day writing challenge Songs of a Pagan Place | Writing the Irish Myths & Legends kicked off this morning with the first prompt. If you’d like to try your hand at writing a poem a day in April, there’s still time to join us – the Facebook group closes today but the email option will remain open for the rest of the month. For more information and to book, click on the link above or the button below.

The Thursday evening poetry workshop group is also starting this week and there are two spots left if you fancy putting some poems through their paces before sending out for publication.

If you find the monthly submissions list useful, and would like to show your appreciation to keep it as an open resource for writers in 2024, please click one of the links below and make a small contribution – a €12 donation is suggested but any and all contributions are greatly appreciated.
