Hi Annyct,

i myself write poetry and i recommend going to www.poetry.com. There is no initial fee to join in and they hold competitions every month for the best poem.

GOOD LUCK!

Hi Annyct.
There is also:-

www.poetrylibrary.org.uk/competitions

which is regularly (or nearly so) updated. The comps do have entry fees, but usually starting from �3 or so.
I've entered a few myself...and I'll also try the other two mentioned by your other posters. Woodelf.
