DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES IS SUNDAY 5th JULY
Edinburgh City of Literature is inviting local emerging poets to submit work for an exciting new poetry competition, and the winning poem is set to be installed on a moving Edinburgh tram.
The winning poet will also receive a £100 honorarium and developmental support from Edinburgh City of Literature, offering guidance and encouragement.
The competition celebrates poetry written for public spaces and everyday readers. The prize-winning poem will be read by thousands of passengers as they move through Edinburgh.
Alongside the tram installation, the winning poem will be:
- Printed on a specially illustrated postcard, illustration by Liz Windisch
- Shared on Edinburgh City of Literature’s website and social media channels
Applications close at midnight on Sunday 5 July and the submission guidelines are here.
