Production notes
The first Welsh Poetry Competition was set up by Dave Lewis in 2007. Officially launched on St David's Day @ Clwb-Y-Bont, Pontypridd, 2007 the aim is to encourage and foster the wealth of creative writing talent that we know exists in Wales but currently languishes in the doldrums. We aim to inspire people to capture life in the present day and to give a voice to a new generation of poets and writers. We are not interested in purely academic types of literature but would much rather see pure raw passion burst onto the creative writing scene in Wales.
Such was the success of the previous two years' competitions that this year we have again been able to increase the prize money and are offering the following prizes:
1st Prize - £300
2nd Prize - £150
3rd Prize - £75
The closing date for the 2009 competition is: Sunday 21st June 2009.
