New monthly competitions from HappenStance Press

The Scottish-based independent poetry press is running a free-to-enter poetry-related contest each month
Every month the theme will change, although the conmpetition will always be poetry-related, and close on the last day of the month. This month's opening challenge is a Dylan Thomas quiz.
Each monthly HappenStance competition is free to enter, and the winner will be sent a selection of HappenStance Press books and BardCards.
HappenStance Press was founded by Helena Nelson in 2005, and in 2010 won the Michael Marks Award for Poetry Pamphlet Publishing. It has open submission periods for poetry pamphlets in July and December.
