The organisers of Morecambe Poetry Festival are looking for poems for their anthology which will be published to coincide with the festival from September 22-24.

The themes are nature, sustainability & biodiversity.

You can submit up to three poems for free for a chance to be included in the anthology.

There will also be ten weekend festival passes awarded along with an invitation to read at the festival and, in the month leading to festival, workshops to help you develop your performances.

They don't have to be new, they can have been previously published. You must have the rights to them.

It's a great opportunity to share some poems about themes key to us all and to support a great festival on the Bay.

Submit your poems by 5pm this Friday (August 4).

Entries should be sent to Matt Panesh: [email protected].
