POEMS about the spirit of Swindon are set to be displayed on bus shelters and buses.

Entries have been invited for a poetry competition organised by the Swindon Learning Partnership's Family and Community Learning department.

The 10 best selected by the judges will be put forward for possible display, and winners will each be presented with a poster-sized version of their work.

The organisers have chosen The Spirit of Swindon as their theme.

Entries should be written on A4 paper and handed in at libraries no later than Friday, April 18. All should include the entrant's name, age, address and telephone number. The minimum age for entrants is 14.
