Adult Poetry Competition
The Wenlock Poetry Competition 2014 is now open for entries.
Poem(s) may be on any subject, up to 40 lines, previously unpublished.
Three prizes are awarded – first prize £500, second prize £200, third prize £100 – and one poem will be judged as Highly Commended. All shortlisted entrants will be named.
For the 2014 competition, the judging panel is led by Daljit Nagra. Daljit writes:
I am looking for poems that come in any forms and sizes, that are comic or serious, that are sure of themselves or that have no idea what they’re about. What I am essentially looking for is a poem that will excite, shock, surprise or humour me. The best way to achieve one or more of these effects is by ensuring the poem is well crafted. I am looking forward to reading the entries.
Winners will be notified in advance and invited to a reading of all winning poems held on Saturday 26 April 2014 as part of the Festival programme.
Fee: £5 per poem, maximum 5 poems.
The closing date is midnight, Monday 17 March 2014. Entries postmarked Monday 17 March 2014 will be accepted.
Please do read the rules carefully before entering the competition.
