We are now closed

 Thank you for all your poems, and also for the many messages saying how much you value a competition that focusses on the brighter side of poetry. All the entries have been passed to this year's judge, Vanessa Lampert. Remember to check back on results day!

Six and a half hours

 That's how long before the competition closes!

One week to go

 Thank you for all the entries that have been submitted. For those of you still refining your poems, you have one week left before the competition closes and judging begins!

Thirteen days to go

 Ok, normally you'd expect a reminder with two weeks to go. But after the mathematical reminder last time, we thought we'd skip a day. Keep writing!
