Details (Some of them anyway!)
#Poems may be in any style, of any length, on any subject. Sequences will be judged as separate poems. Each poem should be typed, on A4 paper, single sided and with pages numbered.

#The entry fee of £5 allows you to enter up to three poems. You may enter as many times as you like, provided each set of poems is accompanied by the £5 entry fee.
