Poetry Competition - 2021

Scribes Writers 'Poetic Licence' Poetry competition has now been judged and prizes awarded in both categories, Traditional Verse and Free Verse.

All prize winners including those Highly Commended and Commended have been advised but we would like to thank all entrants for their contribution and, further, would like to encourage them to keep contributing their work as they continue to grow in their skill.

The response we had this year was again awsome with a smidge shy of 100 diverse entries spread over six states.
If you were one of the entrants this year we thank you sincerely for your support but if you were not why not try your hand next year. Keep a check on this site for details.

The Judges' Report and Results in both categories can be accessed from the Poetry Tab above (place the cursor on the Tab without clicking and click on the page required from the list that drops down) or directly from here while the Awards List can be directly accessed from here.

The first and second prize winning entries, as we have permission to publish them, can be viewed as follows:

Category A (Traditional Verse) - First Prize

Category B (Free Verse) - First Prize
