Oide is inviting students to enter our 'National Write a Poem' competition. There are two categories: Junior Cycle and Senior Cycle. We hope that this popular competition will encourage young writers to compose poetry and assist teachers in supporting the writing of poetry.
The winning poets in each category will be notified and receive a commemorative plaque. Their poem will be published in the National Poetry Award booklet. Prizes will be presented as part of the Wellread National Award ceremony, organised by Oide, in association with Laois Education Centre. This ceremony will take place in the Killeshin Hotel, Portlaoise in April 2025.
The closing date for entries is Friday, 13th December 2024. Full details can be found here.
