The Rialto, working with the RSPB, Birdlife International and the Cambridge Conservation Initiative, has launched its Nature and Place Poetry Competition 2018. The competition is for poems in any style dealing with any aspect of nature and place.
There is a first prize of £1,000, a second prize of £300 and a third prize of a creative writing course at Ty Newydd. There are also additional prizes of personal tours with nature writer Mark Cocker and naturalist Nick Davies. The winning poems will be published in The Rialto, and the winners will be invited to an event with judge Michael Longley.
