Two entrants received runner-up awards: Ailbhe McMahon, a freelance writer who has just returned from a period of travel overseas, for her “Letter from Varanasi”; and Sorcha Lanigan, from Cork, who studied in her home city as well as in London and Leiden. Her entry was a “Letter from Athlone”. Their pieces will be published next week.
