Sounds great, doesn't it? Almost...too great, Boy Wonder. I'm expecting a trap door to open at any moment.
The basics: It's free to enter, and the prize is £1,000 sterling, plus publication of a first poetry collection. It's for collections of 50-100 pages by Irish- and UK-based writers under 35, so, Giovanni Trapattoni, if you're reading, you need not apply. (And we know you're hardly ever in Ireland anyway, though maybe you should consider visiting the UK a bit more, particularly those nice big stadiums they have. Comprende?)
More details available yonder:

The deadline is 3 months away (13 May), but still, if you're planning to enter, get yo' shit together like NOW!
Please pass on the word to anyone you know who might be interested and eligible. Thanks.
