Default Buxton Stone

The judges are Fleur Adcock and Michael Schmidt. The competition is this one, closing date 1st April so you have to get down to it.

For a full list of rules and all other information please contact claire@buxtonfestival.co.uk for an entry form or download a copy at www.derby.ac.uk/buxtonpoetrycompetition.

Downloading does the trick. I suppose you'll have to use IRCs for this. Spurred on by my efforts to write a monorhyme on 'bears' I've done one on 'stone', which leaves the rest of you plenty of scope do do something else. I think that a competition depends greatly on its judge/judges, and this is a dependable pair, particularly Fleur, one of the best poets living in my opinion. Only three prizes but that leaves two for the rest of you.
