A publishing outfit, Words Rhymes & Rhythm (WRR) is receiving entries for its September edition of the Brigitte Poirson Poetry Contest (BPPC).
Themed ‘Freedom’ (derived from Maya Angelou‘s poem ‘I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings’), the competition is open to poets across the world.
WRR wrote on their website: “We are looking for poems that explore the concept of freedom – the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants or the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved.”
The winning poem will be awarded a cash prize of N8000, a certificate of award and a copy of the BPPC 2018 anthology. Also, the top 10 poems will be automatically entered for the Albert Jungers Poetry Prize (AJPP) 2018, be published in the annual BPPC 2018 anthology, and authors will receive a free copy of the BPPC 2018 anthology.
The overall winner of the BPPC 2018 (February to September 2018) will be awarded the Albert Jungers Poetry Prize (AJPP) 2018. Ogwiji Blessing emerged winner in 2017.
Entries will be received until February 23, 2018.
