Dunfest Writing Competitions

To mark the 2012 Dunshaughlin Harvest Festival, there are three separate competitions that are open to anyone who has ever spent any time in Dunshaughlin – so they welcome entries from present-day and erstwhile Dunshaughlonians as well as people from all over the world who have paid the town a visit.

The three competitions have one overall theme: “A good time in Dunshaughlin”

Photography, Short Story and Poetry are the 3 categories and each has 2 classes: Youth (under 16yrs) and Adult.

Poem should be no longer than 500 words

Short story between 500-2000 words.

Deadline: Monday 17th September, 2012

It seems to be free to enter but can see no mention of a prize so just glory?   

They say  

"While it is not our intention to generate commercial income from your work, we reserve the right to publish it in order to generate awareness/sponsorship for the festival – without remuneration. However, in all other aspects you will retain the rights of your work."


There's also a robot competition!
