We’re looking for five brand new poems to appear in a pamphlet to be published in 2023. Ten Poems about Wonky Animals will contain a poem by each of the Wonky Animals Poets (Anna Barker, Kathryn Bevis, Jane Burn, Tania Hershman, Clare Shaw) leaving five slots available to be filled by YOU!
In order to enter, simply order a pamphlet from the Candlestick Press range (priced from £5.95 plus postage). Each purchase entitles you to enter two poems.
You might want to have a look at existing pamphlets in the Animals category for inspiration and to discover the sort of poems we’re looking for.
PRIZES
In addition to publication, each of the five winners will receive £75 and 10 copies of the finished pamphlet. No entrant may win more than one prize. Winners retain all rights to their poems.
Email your poems as separate Word docs or PDF files to
wonkies@candlestickpress.co.uk with each poem’s title and your own name as the file names. Please also include your PayPal transaction number, your name, address and a contact telephone number.
There is no limit to how many entries you can make, but each entry of two poems must be accompanied by the PayPal transaction number as proof of purchase.
JUDGES
Entries will be judged by the Candlestick editorial team Di Slaney and Kathy Towers, and the Wonky Animals Poetry Collective. The judges’ decision is final, and no correspondence will be entered into. The winner will be notified by email by 22nd May 2023 and announced via social media on or before 30th May 2023.
