The 38th biannual Blue Mountain Arts Poetry Competition is open for original rhyming or non rhyming poetry for greetings cards, although judges find that non rhyming poetry reads better. They suggest, ‘You write about real emotions and feelings and that you have some special person or occasion in mind as you write’. Poems will be judged on ‘originality and uniqueness’.
There is no limit to the number of poems you may enter and there are prizes of $350 for the winner and $200 and $100 for second and third prize winners respectively.
