The children’s competition is open to entries from young writers all over the world and has two age categories – aged 4 to 11 and 12 to 17.

It is free to enter and does not have a theme, to allow you to express your creativity freely and let your imagination run wild!

We hope you will enjoy writing poetry this summer!
