The National Poetry Anthology 2012

Can Felixstowe Scribblers help in the United Press bid to find a winning poet for each town in the UK?

It’s now the UK’s biggest free-to-enter annual poetry competition and winners get a free copy of the book - The National Poetry Anthology - with their poem in it.

The anthology is published every year to promote poetry and spotlight talented poets. From thousands of entries we pick over 250 winners and THEY vote for one overall UK Champion who receives £1,000 and an impressive trophy to keep forever. One Felixstowe Scribblers member could be that UK Champion next year.

Most of the regional winners have been interviewed by the media.

Some areas were not represented in the latest book, so we want to include EVERY town for the new anthology. If any members of Felixstowe Scribblers want to put their poetry talents on show, and don't mind a little publicity, ask them to send us up to three poems of no more than 25 lines and 160 words each by the closing date of June 30th 2011 to United Press Ltd, Admail 3735, London, EC1B 1JB.

Yours in poetry, Peter Quinn, Editor of the NPA.
