Budding Wordsworths across Swindon have just under a month to get creative and be in with a chance of winning the coveted Swindon Poetry Competition.
People aged 16 and over are being encouraged to put pen to paper and express their feelings and emotions through poetry.
Completed poems, based on the theme Spirit of Swindon, should be taken to any Swindon Council library by Thursday, April 8.
The entries will be judged by the Festival of Literature panel, which includes director Matt Holland.
Eight winning entries will be selected and the winners will each receive a framed copy of their poem and a book voucher. The poems will also be read out during a special programme on Swindon FM. Only one entry is allowed per person.
