Yes, I did the research when I first saw the comp. Yes, I agree that the 'googled' Jayne Sykes doesn't seem the type of 'author' who would judge a poetry comp, which led me to believe there could be another writer - even a poet - by the same name.
The comp is listed in The Poetry Library and the Poetry Kit. I assumed - maybe incorrectly - that inclusion in these listings implied the comp is genuine.
As I still haven't had a reply, I'm assuming this half-hearted enterprise is not one worthy of support.
Thanks for the replies.
