The Poetry Games |
Poetry Competition

4-18

As the summer of 2024 approaches with a burst of sporting excitement, we invite you to embark on a poetic journey celebrating the world of games and sports. 

Whether you're captivated by the magic of the Olympic Games, the thrill of the Euros, the elegance of Wimbledon, or the high-speed drama of the Tour de France, let your creativity flow! But you don’t have to be limited to the sporting arena – we welcome verses inspired by board games, video games or even your very own imaginary sports

Craft a poem in any style and you might just score big! Share your poem with us, and you could be published in a book and win a £25 Smyths voucher to spend on a new game or sporting equipment. 

Unleash the power of words and let the games begin!

Closing Date: 6th September 2024
