Returning for 2018, an exciting poetry competition with three winning categories.

The first is an open entry for the public; the second is for University of Bolton students and staff. In these two categories there will be a £50 voucher for the winner, with a runner-up prize of £25.

The third category is a VI form and colleges category for 16-18 year olds. £25 voucher for the winner; £10 for the runner-up. 
 
The theme of the competition is a celebration of this year's National Poetry Day: 'Change'. The judges are especially interested to consider poems about change in Bolton and the Greater Manchester area. You may submit two poems, of up to 25 lines each.
