Now entering its fourth year the 2015 All Wales Comic Verse Competition continues to offer some of the largest cash

prizes for any poetry competition in Wales, comic or otherwise. Appealing to a wide cross section of poets, previous

entrants have included those short-listed for the Wales Book of the Year and the John Tripp Award for Performance

Poetry as well as those writing just for fun.

Attracting competitors from all parts of the country, former finalists have traveled from as far afield as Gwynedd, Wrexham

and Swansea to compete. Taking place in the beautiful grounds of the historic Priory Hotel, as in previous years broadcaster

and former “Newport Town Poet”, Goff Morgan will host the live performance final.

The competition forms part of the Celf Caerleon Arts Festival, “Literature on the Lawn” weekend.

£3.00 fee per entry, up to 3 poems per person, no more than 30 lines long
