POETS from Warrington are again being invited to bid to become the local “poetry champion.
Publishers United Press are again seeking entries for their annual National Poetry Anthology in what has become the biggest free-to-enter annual poetry contest in the UK.
Local poets are invited to represent their town or village in the book.
Editor Peter Quinn said: “We picked 285 town winners last year but we want the new edition to include a winner from every town and village.
“So far we haven’t had enough entries to achieve that.”
Poets are asked to send three unpublished poems, on any subject and up to 20 lines or 160 words each to United Press, Admail 3735, London EC1B by the closing date of June 30.
A loose stamp should be enclosed if you want a reply.
