Pandemic Poetry - Futures of Hope is a competition open for 5 to 18-year-olds and is aimed at creating a safe space for poets to dream about their futures. The deadline to enter is Sunday June 27th and there is no word limit on entries.
The pandemic has affected many over the last year, young people have missed out on key developmental periods and many are left with worries about their futures. Pandemic Poetry aims to nurture a safe environment for young writers to use a creative outlet and focus on the hope they have for what's to come. By collating a collection of works from children of all ages, we hope to allow 5-18 year olds to feel less alone.
The competition will empower young writers by sharing their words and giving a platform for their voices to be heard! Open for ages 5-18, writers can feel part of a community whilst sharing their thoughts and common connections with other people.
How to take part:
The competition has no word limit and poems can be written in any style. Try to keep things hopeful and looking towards the future, but your thoughts and feelings about your situation are important.
