Closing date midnight, Monday 17 March 2014. Entries postmarked Monday 17 March 2014 will be accepted.
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.
Poems on any subject up to 40 lines. Fee £5 per poem, maximum 5 poems.
