Children’s Poetry Competition 2009
It’s time to put your thinking cap on, sharpen your pencil (or keyboard) and let your imagination run free, as you put your poetry skills to the test in our new children’s poetry competition. There are two fantastic prizes – although writing poetry shouldn’t be about just winning prizes – and lots of fun, and perhaps frustration, to be enjoyed along the way!
The Prizes
Two £50 prizes will be awarded, the first for the best poem written by a child aged 7 or under and the second for the best poem written by a child aged 8 or over. The competition will be judged by two independent judges and the results announced in mid-November 2009.
You must write a funny poem of 16 or fewer lines about being ill
The poem can be about really being ill, or pretending to be ill, or about any aspect of sickness, disease or death that takes your fancy. However you approach the subject, the resulting poem should be funny.
The last day for submission of competition entries is 31st October 2009
I know it seems ages away now, but a prize-winning funny poem may take five minutes, or five months, to write. If you’re feeling inspired, you may submit up to a maximum of three poems during the course of the competition.
