Poetry for prize
A POEM about Swindon could win £1,000 in a free competition.
Anyone, young or old, can have a go. All you have to do is send a poem about Swindon to “Local Poem” by email info@unitedpress.co.uk or post to United Press Ltd, Admail 3735, London, EC1B 1JB.
The best poem will win £1,000 cash and you 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.
A United Press spokesman said: “The contest is designed to encourage ordinary people to write poetry – to both express themselves and be more creative.”
The closing date for entries is December 31.
