The Eric Gregory Trust Fund offers a number of substantial wards annually to encourage young poets who can show they are likely to benefit from an opportunity to give more time to writing. An eligible candidate must be a British Subject by birth, but not a national Eire or any of the British dominions or colonies and be ordinarily resident in the UK or Northern Ireland. They must be under thirty years of age on 31st march in the year of the award (ie following submission). You can download or send a S.A.E for an entry form and the closing date is the 31st October each year.
The award is the result of a bequest made in 1959 by Eric Craven Gregory(also known as Peter Gregory) chairman of the publishers Lund Humphries, from his estate to the Incorporated Society of Authors, Playwrights and composers. Applications are made through the Society of Authors and wards are up to a sum value of £24,000 annually.
