It runs in parallel with a larger series,
Winners of this contest will be invited into the main contest where they will automatically be finalists.
PLEASE do not enter this contest if you consider yourself a practiced rhymer, or if you have won a major prize or two or more HMs in our previous rhyming challenge. (However if you have got awards from us and still think this is the right place for you, please message us and we will decide.)
You may enter two poems, but only one pre-write.
The theme this time is "New" and you can interpret that any way you like.
This contest is all about encouraging people to rhyme. We will take experience into account when marking, and we may ask some competitors to move their poems to the main contest.
If you want to ask the judges for help or comments before the end of the contest, or afterwards, please do, this part of our series is about learning and improving, the gold cups are an added extra!
Rhyming poetry matters to us both and to our sponsor so keep it up and get better!!!
