Welcome

The The following Poetry Awards Events were founded, created and organized by Karin McBride-Chenoweth. We celebrate all the winners and finalists in the following awards. Their poems were published in three publications that went on to raise thousands for Children's Charities in Northern Ireland. The event was hosted by Mr Jim Shannon MP at Parliament Buildings , Stormont. We thank all the sponsors who gave generously to make the awards a success! In addition, VIP Poetry Workshops were conducted by Karin in local Primary Schools - sponsored by Ards Arts and The Primary Roadshow.
