The link to the Long List below is not a list of all the poems submitted to the competition, it lists those poems that were still in the running right to up to the late stages of the judging.\u00a0Please don\u2019t be disheartened if your work doesn\u2019t appear on this list!\u00a0<\/strong>Once again, we had a huge response to the competition, receiving around 2800 poems from 1350 poets.<\/p>\n

The quality of the writing submitted and the deep engagement with our theme is always astonishing and indeed heartening. Every poem entered makes a difference to nature and poetry.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to Gillian for her generosity in working with us and indeed to all of you who entered.<\/p>\n

We will shortly be announcing details of the free online event that will feature a reading by Gillian Clarke and our winners. This is planned for Wednesday 6th July.<\/strong> Further details will be announced in due course.<\/p>\n

Please be aware the long list is only representative of a part of the process of selection and does not include all entrants. The judging is a difficult process of elimination, from the thousands of poems received one hundred or so poems go on to the long list, a short list is then compiled and from that a list of winners and highly commended poems.<\/p>\n

We are grateful for all submissions, the standard this year was exceptional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
