THE search is on for the Warrington poetry champion.
One poet will represent each UK town in the National Poetry Anthology – the UK’s biggest free annual poetry competition.
Entry is free and, like all the other winners, the Warrington winner gets a free copy of the book with their poem in it. One overall winner also receives £1,000.
“The National Poetry Anthology is designed to encourage new writers,” said its editor, Peter Quinn. “It has rocketed in popularity and we expect the new one to be even better.”
Aspiring poets should send three unpublished poems on any subject (up to 20 lines and 160 words each) to United Press Ltd, Admail 3735, London EC1B 1JB by the closing date of June 30 or visit www.unitedpress.co.uk.

Given the amount text that posters write on the discussion forum there must be a champion amongst you. I look foward to reading your entries.
