SUMMARY:P - Yaffle's Nest Competition Theme: Poems about the best songs of all time
DESCRIPTION: \nCompetition\n \n\n\nB.O.A.T \nBEST songs OF ALL TIME \npoetry competition \n**A huge thanks to all those poets who have entered our Yaffle’s Nest BOAT (poems inspired by the Best Songs of All Time) comp. We don’t do things by half and while many comps just have prize money we do that and produce anthologies too. And this year we’ve added a judge to the mix. Unfortunately\, we haven’t managed to cover costs up to press so we have no other choice but to extend our deadline. The good news is those who didn’t quite manage to get their subs to us have another six weeks to enter! The new deadline date is 17th May. Thank you. ** \nYaffle’s Nest invite you to submit poems about what you consider to be the best songs of all time. \nYou can respond in any way you like\, just make your poems as good as they can be. \nIf you can’t whittle your favourites own to one – send us as many poems as you like. \nAll longlisted\, commended\, highly commended and winning poems will be included in the eventual anthology. \nThe anthology will be a stand alone book where every contribution will be equal\, however the final placings turn out. \nThe aim is to get the anthology into as many book shops as we can. \nThis will be the first of what we hope will be many of our new ‘Best Of All Time (BOAT) series of anthologies. \nPrizes:\nWinner: £200 \n2nd Prize: £50.00 \n3rd Prize: £25.00 \nThe winner\, runners-up and those on the long-list\, will be announced on 7th June 2025 \nPlease pay for your entry using PayPal yafflesnest@gmail.com \nYou are allowed to enter as many times as you want. \nWe look forward to reading your work. \nYaffle’s Nest Team \nSole Judge \nEmma Purshouse \nWhat am I looking for?   \nI enjoy crafted\, tightly written poems. Poems that tell stories.  Poems that come at things from unusual angles. Poems that I can walk into and have a good look round.  Poems that sparkle and sing. I’m looking for the tales that only you can tell. \nWhen I judge competitions I read poems aloud\, so a piece that feels wonderful in the air is always a pleasure to discover. \nI have wide ranging poetry tastes and am as likely to pick a poem that makes use of a traditional form as I am a piece of prose poetry.   \nI’m really looking forward to reading your work.” \nRules:\nThe prize is open to any poet in the world who is over 18 years of age writing in English. \nCompetition Rules\n1. The maximum length for each poem is 40 lines excluding the title. Breaks between stanzas do not count towards the total. \n2.
