The Big Dithering Chaps March Cut-Off
Closing date: Tue 31 Mar 2026
Dithering Chaps is now open for submissions for their poetry chapbook competition.
Entrants are invited to submit a ten-page sample of poems alongside a 200-word treatment explaining the vision behind their collection manuscript (roughly 30-60 pages in total).
The shortlist will be announced by mid-April 2026, and the winning poet will be chosen by the end of that month.
Poets who have not had a previous poetry collection published will also automatically be considered for a separate publication slot.
