Poems on the Move
Your poem could be on show in 2020. The Guernsey Literary Festival, together with the Guernsey Arts Commission and the generous support of Guernsey Post, presents a competition that could deliver your work to thousands of readers.
Winning entries are selected in two phases: 21 poems will be chosen, and 9 of these will take part in a second, larger display, first at Guernsey Airport, then all over the island.
Entries must be no longer than 14 lines and must fit on a single A4 page.
Guernsey Literary Festival 2020
Guernsey’s natural beauty, and its picturesque harbour town of St Peter Port, make the island an exceptional location for a literary festival. The eighth Guernsey Literary Festival takes place from 29th April – 3rd May. We offer a varied and energetic celebration of literature with something for everyone – from aspiring writers to families looking for a fun day out.
For details of the usual heady mix of writers, talks, workshops and performance visit the Guernsey Literary Festival website.
We invite you to join us for the International Poetry Competition Winners’ Reading on 29th April 2020.
