When you receive your prizes and book orders, it would be great if you could send us photos of you reading / holding your book in a typical setting of you home location so that we can demonstrate the global nature of the Pendle War Poetry Competition.

Please use the revised email address for sending you photos, poetry entries and all future communications, ie: pendlewarpoetry@gmail.com 



Alternatively, you can post them directly on the competition Facebook page HERE
