Default Various comps also mentioned elsewhere

I thought it might be nice to have a duplicate thread here at Drills & Amusements, with pointers to any competition announcements that appear on the General Announcements board.

Recent posts of possible interest:

I posted an announcement about the Poetry and Politics Competition here, if anyone's interested. Deadline 31 August 2016.

Brian Allgar posted info on the 2016 RhymeZone Poetry Prize (theme: "Community") here. Deadline April 12.

In the fifth post in Brian's thread, Matt Q mentioned the Wergle Flomp Humor Poetry Contest. Deadline April 1.

Yes, thanks. I wonder how many entries the US comps get?

Lots of people try for the Wergle Flomp. Incuding me, but I haven't cracked it yet.

The Fool for Poetry Chapbook Competition (details here) has an entry fee, but may still interest folks who'd like a holiday in Cork, and a thousand euros. Deadline 31 May 2016.

Wergle Flomp (above) deadline is tomorrow.

Julie,
Thanks for the reminder. I sent my W-F entry in just before the deadline.

Thomas Gray Poetry Competition has website details accessible via David Anthony's post here. Those details include info about the judges and theme (different enough from the recent Gray's Elegy comp in the Speccie that you probably can't recycle). Prizes of £250, £100 and £60, plus up to three highly commended entries each awarded £30. Entry fee of £5 for the first and £3 for each subsequent poem. There's also a no-entry-fee comp for students, with smaller cash prizes. Deadline 24 June 2016.

Also, if you somehow missed it, details of the President Erdoğan Offensive Poetry Competition are posted here. (Ask a moderator if you're interested but don't remember the proper abracadabras to access the Deep Drills boards.) No entry fee, £1000 prize, Deadline 23 June 2016. [Edited to clarify: This isn't really a deadline--see Matt Q's comment below.]

Just to say that there's actually no deadline posted for the Erdogan comp. It only says that that "the winning poem will be announced by 23 June". I've emailed to ask but received no reply yet.
