Introducing Storytime magazine's Children's Poetry Competition! **update - now closed**
Do you have a budding poet in the family? In celebration of its 2nd anniversary issue, Storytime magazine is inviting children aged 3 to 9 to write a 12 to 20-line poem about animals. The winning poem will be judged by brilliant children's poet Brian Moses and featured in the April 2017 issue with specially commissioned illustrations. What are you waiting for? Get scribbling!
The September issue of Storytime puts poetry in the spotlight, so if your kids like the idea of sitting alongside poetry greats (including Roald Dahl, Spike Milligan and Michael Rosen) then get entering below. The deadline for the competition is Wednesday October 12 2016.
