For the Binstead Arts Poetry Competition 2017, poems are invited on the theme of ‘harvest’.
There are prizes of £150, £100 and £50, and a reading of the winning and commended entries will take place as part of Binstead Art Festival on 10 June, with commentaries from judge Clare Best.
All poems must be original and unpublished. Poems may be in any style, and should be no longer than forty lines. Type poems in 12pt Times New Roman, single spaced. Send two typed copies of each poem entered, on separate sheets. The poet’s name must not appear on the manuscript. Include a completed entry form, which can be downloaded from the website. The entry fee, of £5 for the first poem and £3 for any subsequent poems, should be paid by cheques made out to Binstead Arts.
