Happy Autumn from the Welsh Poetry  Competition Hello poets... Just a quick email to remind you that next year we  shall be launching our 10th international competition. After humble beginnings, in the back room of  Clwb Y Bont, Pontypridd we have gone from  strength to strength and increased our entries and  support each year. In our first year we had a few hundred entries with  71% coming from within Wales, but now we  get double that number with 60% coming from  outside Wales, marking the contest as a truly  international event! After council cuts resulted in the closure of the  Cardiff Poetry competition last year we became  the biggest poetry competition based in Wales  overnight. In 2016 we enter our 10th year and hope that  everyone who has entered before and made  this competition so great will do so again. We shall also be producing a second anthology  in the summer of 2016 after the winners are  announced. www.welshpoetry.co.uk
