This year our competition celebrates the launch of a remarkable short story collection Where is my Mask of an Honest Man? by Laura Del-Rivo. Her stories are set in and around Portobello Market in Notting Hill London. You feel that the unique character of this area permeates the characters and events in the stories. Therefore the theme of our poetry competition is: What’s your Place?
This competition invites poems in English or Dutch.
We invite you to write a poem about a neighbourhood that’s important to you. It could be the place you grew up in, the area you live in now, or a neighbourhood which influenced your life in a particular way. It could well be a place you visited on holiday, or city that made a big impression on you, or equally well a place that has blighted your life ever since. It could be a house, a café, school or a park, a neighbourhood, a motorway, railway station, any place that defines the neighbourhood.
We like to read about your sense of place expressed in a poem.
It’s about your take on the place but at the same time we’re looking for an individual vision that has a universal resonance; in other words, a poem which uses the literary form to say something more, and which is not just about yourself.
We want to be moved by your poem, exciting by its images, we love to see wonderful use of language and striking metaphors. Above all the poem about the place that defines you should be written from the heart and you should feel it had to be put on paper.
