"Earth Words" - Rutland Friends of the Earth Celebratory Poetry Competition

To celebrate 40 years of Friends of the Earth, Rutland Friends of the Earth is hosting "Earth Words", a poetry and illustration competition, with the theme of 'being friends with our Earth'. With celebrity judges including broadcaster Clive Anderson, award-winning poet Gillian Clarke and TV comedy writer Jon Canter, it's a great opportunity to get creative and get published.

There are cash prizes reaching £150, and the best entries will feature in a celebratory book of poems, which will also include artwork and photography.

The deadline is 30th June 2012, so you have plenty of time to get your entries in!

Entries cost £3 for adults (or £10 for 4 submissions) and £1 for children (or £3 for 4 submissions).

Rather than writing your name on the poem or illustration, please include a separate piece of paper with your name, address, telephone number, email address and the title of the poem(s) you are submitting.

Postal entries should be sent to:
