These look well worth checking out, if you live in the North of England: http://northernwritersawards.com/ Deadline is 2nd February 2015.
North of England
Butcher’s Dog mag – last call for submissions
Copied and pasted below from their email reminder. Please let me know how you get on – I’d love to hear!
Butcher’s Dog is based in the north so we’d love to receive work from
writers who feel a connection with the north (either by birth, domicile or
inclination) as well as writers from beyond the region. There is no set theme
and the subject of the poetry submitted does not have to be about the north of
England.
Please send up to 3 unpublished poems to submissions@butchersdogmagazine.com by 10
February 2014. For more information about the magazine, please visit www.butchersdogmagazine.com.
