Gorgie City Farm will be celebrating National Poetry Day (Thursday 8 October) with a poetry competition for writers of all ages! The closing date is Friday 2 October. If you're in Edinburgh, this is a great excuse to visit the farm and write a poem! The poem needs to be in honour of the poet's favourite animal at Gorgie City Farm. You can send your poems by post to: Gorgie City Farm, 51 Gorgie Road, Edinburgh, EH11 2LA or email them to: sponsor@gorgiecityfarm.org.uk. Entry to the competition is free! There will be prizes including: free sponsorship of the poet's favourite animal for a year; book tokens and a farm goodie bag!
I'm delighted to have been asked to judge this competition! You can find a poster for the competition here.
Please note: Writing poetry about the farm rabbits does not necessarily guarantee a prize!
Again I am sorry I don't live in Edinburgh - you make it all sound so alive and vibrant a city Juliet.
ReplyDeleteThe link did not get me to the poster - it got me to the google docs page.
ReplyDeleteBoy - there is going to be some great poetry ...
Were that I were properly wired for poetry production!
Enjoy the judging process.
ReplyDeletewhat a luscious top image header.
ReplyDeleteits nice to know National poetry day is celebrated there too; we do it in early spring here... not sure how mainstream it flows, but its a start! ;)
they couldn't have asked a better, brighter person to judge the competition. good luck with your venture. i don't envy you your judging because i'm sure there'll be lots of great writers. good luck.
