Would you like the chance to have your poetry published and with the added benefit of having your work read by Poet Laureate and Open University honorary graduate Carol Ann Duffy who is judging the competition?
This is the first year for the Lumen/Camden Poetry Competition, which is the initiative of poet Ruth O’Callaghan - founder and organiser of the Camden and Lumen Poetry Series.
The winner will have a 20-page pamphlet published by Ward Wood Publishing, a company set up in 2010 by Open University graduate Adele Ward and Mike Fortune-Wood, co-founder of Cinnamon Press, and will receive 50 copies of their pamphlet to keep or sell.
The Lumen/Camden Poetry Competition has an entry fee of just £2.50 per poem, if you want to submit more poems there are discounts, with six poem submissions costing £10. The winner will also be selected on the basis of just one of their poems (maximum length 40 lines). All money raised through pamphlet sales will go to the Cold Weather Shelters, which strives to help the homeless through the colder months of the year.
The closing date is 14 February 2011. Click here for full details on how to enter.
