Half Moon Books are delighted that Gaia Holmes will be judging this year's Otley Poetry Prizes competition. This year they are working with Wildlife Friendly Otley and the theme of the competition will be Wildlife.

Gaia Holmes says “Interpret the theme in whatever way you wish. Send us poems about rivers, trees, birds, bees and the natural things that enrich our world, poems about wild lives and wild places, or the wild life and deep, dark forests of the imagination.”
