Hi guys! I am running another poetry competition (off DA) and thought I'd tell you about it. It has cash prizes (paid via Paypal or similar online bank transfer options) and has some free entry options if you are eligible!
It closes in a few days, so if you have a poem that fits the theme (Embers, Ignite) then go ahead and enter, or get writing!
More information at www.CandleLiterature.com
As we worked on the name CandleLit (@CandleLitPoets on FB, Insta and Twitter) and our tag line ‘Poetry that lights a spark‘ there was a reoccurring image of embers, almost dying, igniting flames like words sparking ideas in the audience at a poetry night. So we decided that we would make that our first competition’s theme, to help you get to know us as much as we get to know you through your entries!
You can interpret this theme any way you like, there are no restrictions on that. You might want to go for the idea of something almost dying out, but surviving. The idea of something giving birth to something new. The idea of rising from the literal ashes. Or fire, the actual entity. Anything you like as long as you feel like it links back to the theme, we can’t wait to read it.
I have run 16 poetry competitions in my life (here on DA!) but this is the first under this new brand of CandleLit and the first with cash prizes so welcome to something new!
We are trying to establish a competition that is exciting, inclusive and accessible.
