Poetry Competition 2009

Electric Guitar.jpgThank you to everyone who entered our Poetry Competition and to those who took the time to peruse through the array of poetry on display as chosen by our judge Linda Lee Welch.

For two weeks the public cast their votes online reading through the assortment of poetry on our website and selected their number one choice.

So, without further ado we are pleased to announce the three winners as:


In First Place:                   Siân Thomas                                 Lupercalia

In Second Place:               Graham Burchell                           How Soon 

In Third Place:                  Ali Tevfik Tokdemir                      Mixed-up Pixies At An Exhibition 

This year's Lucky Voter who wins £100 just for voting is Sheneise Stone

Browse through comments made by Linda on this year's winning entries, on the standard of poems received and her thoughts on how to create memorable pieces. Linda will also be running a one day workshop for us on the art of writing great poetry in March 2010.
