Poetry competition on subject of 'Home'

Libraries in Central Bedfordshire are inviting poetry lovers to submit their entries for Bedfordshire Libraries’ Poetry Competition 2010.

The competition is a joint promotion between Bedford Borough and Central Bedfordshire Libraries and has the theme of ‘Home’ this year. The closing date for entries is Saturday, 23 October.

The adult competition is for everyone over 14 years with, for the first time, a separate category for younger writers. The best poems will be published on the Virtual Library’s Post-a-Poem page over the coming year.

You can email your poem to librarieswriteon@bedford.gov.uk, hand your entry in at your local library or send it to either Sally Heard at Bedford Central or Jill Napper at Biggleswade Library. Please include full contact details, including an email address if possible.
