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.
