Be A Master Poet!

Written by Erz on Tuesday, June 18, 2013

The time has come for you to wax lyrical!

The Foyle Young Poets 2013 Contest is now open for entries!

With entries from over 7,300 young people last year from a staggering 60 countries worldwide, it is one of the largest literary competitions in the world and its importance is widely attested. Each year 100 winners (85 Commendations and 15 Overall Winners) are selected by a team of high profile judges, and receive their awards at an annual prize-giving event on National Poetry Day on the 3rd October 2013.

Thanks to funding from the Foyle Foundation the competition remains completely free to enter and they are able to offer a wide range of prizes, opportunities and resources to young people and schools across the UK. Winners from the 15 to 17 age category attend a week-long intensive residential Arvon course where they develop their creative writing skills alongside fellow poets. Winners aged 11-14 group benefit from poetry residencies at their school followed by distance mentoring. The competition is free to enter.

Individuals may enter more than one poem, however they strongly advise that you concentrate on drafting and redrafting your poems and send only a small selection of your very best (they suggest no more than 6-8 maximum). Remember, quality is more important than quantity! Please read the full rules carefully, especially the eligibility criteria.

Check out the contest rules and details at this contest post here.

Contest ends July 31st, 2013.

The BBC Wildlife Camera-Trap Photo of the Year competition will pit your photography skills with the best out there.

Whether you’re a field researcher or a keen amateur, the contest holders want to see your best remote-camera images – and they could win you a £3,000 research grant or a Páramo jacket.

This competition is open to all UK and non-UK residents.

To enter the contest, you can send in a maximum of 12 camera-trap images in any of the four categories specified. Animal Portraits Images taken during the course of your research should capture the character or spirit of their subject. Animal Behaviour Images captured during the course of your research should show interesting or unusual behaviour. New Discoveries Images should show something new to science, such as a species never before photographed in the wild or outside its known range, or behaviour never before recorded. The caption must make clear what the discovery is. British Wildlife Images must be taken in the British Isles by amateur photographers.

Contest ends July 31st, 2013.
