Now's your last chance to become the National Poetry Anthology champion.

One poet will represent his or her town in an annual best of UK poetry book - and the closing date is almost here.

Entry is free and, like all the other 250 winners, they will receive a free copy of the book. One overall winner also gets £1,000 and a magnificent trophy to keep for life.

"The National Poetry Anthology is designed to encourage new writers," said its editor, Peter Quinn. "We picked over 250 town winners last year but we want the new edition to include a winner from every town and village across the United Kingdom . So far, we haven't had enough entries to achieve that."

Send three unpublished poems on any subject (up to 25 lines including blank lines and 160 words each) to United Press Ltd, Admail 3735, London, EC1B 1JB by the closing date of June 30th 2014. Enclose a loose stamp if you want a reply. Visit unitedpress.co.uk if you want more details.
