i have been looking for poetry comps and came across united press and i was wondering if they are legitamite?http://www.unitedpress .uk/
I have seen press releases where locals have won prizes from them (?1000!) and I have entered a couple of their competitions without being pestered to buy over priced anthologies of poor poetry. I have also seen some of their books in shops so I would say, yes, they are legitimate. The fact that they give a number of FREE copies of any book a poet contributes to sets them apart from most who simply offer a miniscule discount.
