Competition: Trowell & District Writers Trust Open Story & Poetry Competition Run By: Trowell & District Writers Trust Genre: Short story / poetry Prize: Cash prize & trophy Deadline: 14th July 2008

Trowell & District Writers Trust Open Story & Poetry Competition. This is the 11th of these contests for short stories, poems, articles, stories for children, and poetry for children.  Stories can be up to 2,000 words, articles 1,500 words and poems 40 lines. Winners will be published in the special Christmas edition of the TDWT magazine Chapter and Verse.

As well as small amounts of cash, there are four trophies, any one of which would look good on your coffee table when your friends come round.  There is the exotic-sounding Vambria Walters Memorial Trophy for the most original piece; the slightly less exotic Ilkston Advertiser Trophy for a short story; the workmanlike Trowell Council Trophy for a poem; and finally the refined Nicholas Palmer MP Trophy for an article.

Entry Fee: £4 for the first, £3 thereafter.  Juniors free.
