When I received my entry form, it read as if it was for a performance competition, however on enquiring I received the following reply from Kay Kiely:
Hi Shelley, it is a written comp, you will be judged on your poem,the poem is not to be longer than 4 mins and original, you do not have to be here to recite it, if you win I will let you know (I will need your ph no) and your poem will be recited, all poems will not be recited as I have only 2 hours on Saturday and on Sunday at the breakfasts, there is a trophy and money for 1st prize and money for 2nd and 3rd, which I will send to you, I will also send you the 3 judges comments, I also hope to put the winners in eMuse and ABPA.
