BUDDING poets are being invited to write a poem about Warrington or one of the town’s characters or scenes, for the chance to win £1,000.
A national competition invites people to write about their local area, from their own observation and experience.
People can send up to three entries, which must be no more than 25 lines (each blank line counts as one line) and 160 words each.
Entry is free and poems should be sent to Local Poem, United Press Ltd, Admail 3735, London, EC1B 1JB, by December 31.
A competition spokesperson said: “Winning poems have been about a river, a tower, a local character, village life and local history.”
