I've been looking at poetry competitions and have submitted to a couple...but I feel that they influence the way I write and inhibit creativity. To have a chance in winning I think you need to know the magazine and their ethos, be familiar with the work of the judge, keep to the given theme, etc...
I'm going to try a few more and then put them aside and get on with writing without constraints...or that is the main idea anyway...maybe I would change my mind if I became a winner!
