National Children's Poetry Competition

Ever dreamt of having your own poem published? Well here's your chance...

The Works Stores Ltd, Britain's leading discount book store has teamed up with top children's publisher Walker Books, and created the National Children's Poetry Competition.



Poems will be judged by a panel at Walker Books, which will include a well known children's author and will be looking for original, creative and imaginative poems.

The winning entries will be published in a children's poetry book specifically commissioned for this competition. The best entry from each region will receive an amazing prize of a bundle of books from Walker Books. Once published the book will be available from The Works Stores throughout the United Kingdom and online.

Book Aid International will also be supporting this event and will receive a £1,000 donation.
