The Farmgate Café National Poetry Award
postal Submissions by publishers accepted 9 – 30 January 2025
The award will be €2000 for the best full-length poetry collection published in the previous year (2024) by a poet residing in Ireland. All entered books must be in English. Translations will be accepted as long as the translated poet resides in Ireland. The judges this year are: Dean Browne, Mary O’Donnell & Maurice Riordan. In a year where a debut collection does not win the overall Farmgate Café National Poetry Award, the highest scoring debut collection in the competition will be awarded the separate Southword Debut Poetry Collection Award. This award is for €1000.
