The library is delighted to announce full details of our
new poetry competition.
There will be two awards; The Portico Poetry Prize and The Portico Young Poetry Prize. Entry for the former is £4 plus £2.50 for each poem after; the latter is free. There's a cash prize for the Portico Poetry Prize and the Young Poetry Prize winner will be named Portico Young Poet of the Year and an opportunity to be anthologised and published. For more, refer the competition leaflets at the bottom of the page.
The guidelines are relatively loose; the only stipulations are that all poems entered must be linked in some way to the works of Charles Dickens and no more than 40 lines (not including the title).

The prizes are inspired by Carol Ann Duffy’s
poem `Havisham’
and are a tribute to the works of Charles
Dickens; as such, all poems must be based on, or related to, the works of Dickens.
The judges are Richy Campbell, Lisa Mansell and Krishan Coupland (Under 18s) and Mandy Coe (Over 18s).
