Over the next two years the Liverpool Methodist Youth Exchange programme will be organising an exchange of young people with the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands in the West Indies. This is an ideal opportunity for a group of young people to learn about each others cultures and to be involved in community projects. In 2008 a group from Merseyside will be spending a month in the West Indies living with families and working on projects. In 2009 the same young people will host a visit to Merseyside of a group from the West Indies. To do this we need to raise a considerable amount of money. So the entry fee is a donation of money to the "Liverpool Methodist Youth Exchange". It can be as little or as much as you want or can afford.
Entries to our competition should be accompanied by a cheque made payable to "Liverpool Methodist Youth Exchange" and we will pass it on to them. Alternatively you can send a donation directly to them at T.Halls, Liverpool Methodist Youth Exchange, 72 Vaughan Road, Wallasey, Merseyside, CH45 1LP. If you wish to enter by email you can, to info@poetrykit.org but let us know that you have made a donation to the Exchange. We are also looking for prizes that you may like to donate, books CD's, DVD's, anything really, and we will be giving those as prizes in this and other competitions and also using them later in the year for a poetry sale, raffle or lucky dip, again to raise money for the Exchange. So please help.
Now the competition; There will be six competitions over the year, each one of two months duration. Anyone making a donation will be eligible to enter each subsequent competition, although you can make a donations each time you enter or even if you don't. At the end of twelve months all of the winners and runners up will be considered for a special edition of our on-line magazine, Transparent Words.
Poems can be of any length or subject. There will be six competitions during the year, those making a donation are eligible to enter all of them if they choose. The closing date for the competitions are as follows;
