Poems on the Move
Your poem could be on show in 2021. The Guernsey Literary Festival, together with the Guernsey Arts Commission and 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 2021
Guernsey’s natural beauty, and its picturesque harbour town of St Peter Port, make the island an exceptional location for a literary festival. We offer a varied and energetic celebration of literature with something for everyone – from aspiring writers to families looking for a fun day out.

We invite you to join us for the International Poetry Competition Winners’ Reading on 12th May 2021.
