We were delighted to be able to hold our Barn Owl Trust Poetry Competition again this year. We were honoured to have local talented short story and script writer, Bryony Tilsley, to judge the competition. Bryony was delighted to be our Judge and spent many happy hours reading thirty six poems out loud until she decided on the winners.
The theme of this year’s competition was ‘Empowering Earth’ and our poets came up with some great and thought provoking entries. The standard of the poems submitted was, as in previous years, remarkable and it was a hard task, according to Bryony, to select the overall winner, runners up and those who were highly commended.
As we have done before, we have put the winning and commended poems and a selection of the other entries into our Wildlife Words Anthology – Volume 8. We do hope you will buy a copy and enjoy the inspirational verses that we’ve been privileged to read.
Volumes 1 to 7 are also available
All profits help wildlife conservation. Thank you!
