OPEN TO ANYONE WITH A SUFFOLK ADDRESS
This is your chance to write an original poem on a theme relating to the art and artists of the Stour Valley .
The winner in each category will receive a cash prize of £200 (plus £50 each for two runners-up) and will have their poems published in a celebratory book and have the opportunity to read their poem in public.
Managing a Masterpiece Poetry Competition Theme Your poem may be inspired by the work of painters like Gainsborough, Constable, Munnings, Nash, by writers like Adrian Bell or Ronald Blythe, by the characters in the paintings like Cornard Wood, TheHaywain or Flatford Mill, or by the changing landscape, agriculture and farming, or new priorities reflected in the art of the Stour Valley and its communities….
All we ask is that your poem is from your own imagination and that it makes a connection to the theme of this competition. This aim of this project is to enable local writers of different ages to look at how the Stour Valley has inspired artists over the centuries.
Deadline for receipt of entries: 22 December 2012
