They started ofF with a €20 entrance fee and have now brought it down to €10. Personally I think that's still pretty hefty for a poem...
Thanks for the info! I love that entry submissions are done the old fashioned postal way! With cheques included!! Cheques!!
take care

You're right - It is hefty for a poem, I would have thought that would get you three poems or one story. I still can't come up with anything gothic enough!

That sounded like a cool competition. But, I came over to thank you for your kind words on my blog.
