Australian outfit PressPress have announced a Chapbook award with entries open from today.
Chris Mansell from PressPress: “I’m thinking it would be the sort of thing that new poets might like (small collection) or more experienced ones who might have a collection that is not big enough for a standard book but might go the 32pp of a chapbook.
The conditions and entry form are on the PressPress site.
