The Shelley Memorial Project Annual Poetry Competition is now open for entries.

The theme for this year's competition is The Changing Seasons. Entrants are encouraged to submit poems that apply a 21st century interpretation to this theme that inspired so much of Shelley's work.

There are three cash prizes of £50 (3rd), £100 (2nd), £250 (1st). There will also be an award for the best poem from a writer based in Shelley's home county.

Judge: Liz Barnes
