ALLEVIATE PUBLICATIONS has launched the Alleviate Awards 2011, an opportunity for all writers, artists, and photographers in Ireland to showcase their talent in a published format to an international audience.
The Alleviate Awards is a competition with four categories - short story, poetry, visual arts, and photography. A grand prize winner in each category will receive a €200 cash prize, but almost all entries will be published in a worldwide anthology that will be released in Ireland, the UK, America, and Canada. The anthology will launch in March 2012 and all profits will go to select charities. The deadline for entry is August 31. The standard entry fee is €15 but there is a reduced entry fee of €10 for the unemployed and there is no entry fee for pensioners and those suffering extreme financial hardship.
