Annual NZ Poetry Society competition closes soon.

The NZ Poetry Society's 2015 International Poetry Competition closes soon. Our thanks go to those who have sent in their entries early - we love having the leisure to read as we receive.

It's not too late to send in those fabulous poems and haiku. They need to reach us by 31st May.

Remember, for this year only there is an extra section. In commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, we invite you to write poems on the theme of Gallipoli. Write 'Gallipoli' on the entry form against the title of any poems you intend for this section.

There will be a single prize of $100 for senior entries and $50 for the junior entry (17 years or younger).


All the details and entry forms are available on our website: www.poetrysociety.org.nz  Despite what it says on the entry forms, you CAN email your entries, as long as you pay for them with PayPal. See the competition webpage for details.

A week to go - what are you waiting for?
