Six competitions have been planned for the festival and are  listed below together with competition rules and application forms. This is a tremendous opportunity for adults and juniors to show their prowess with the pen. The prizes, ranging from €50 to  €1000 are a recognition to those who can demonstrate their literary or poetic mastery and also to those who are new to writing or poetry but feel they have it in them to express themselves with pen and paper. This includes the younger ones in our families who may be encouraged to try and write a short story or verse.  The competitions cover everyone in the family so why not have a go?

To win any of the competitions would be a great achievement. A standard that can be set for future Doneraile Literary and Arts Festival Competitions.
