Five Aspects are excited to announce their 2018 fundraising poetry competition. It's open to anyone 17 years and over - there's cash prizes to be won and it's all for a good cause. 

The theme of this year’s competition is The Spirit of Childhood. Childhood is a time of magic and mystery, powerful emotions and experiences that remain in our hearts a lifetime.  Some of these experiences are wonderful and nourish us into old age, other experiences are more painful and cast long shadows that we struggle to shake. 

Prizes:

• 1st prize: £150
• 2nd prize: £75
• 3rd prize: £50

Two prizes of £20 for poems of note will also be awarded, from the following two categories:  poems from poets aged 17-19 years; poems from poets in the Fylde area (postcodes starting FY).
