One of my roles with the Adelaide Plains Poets is to be the competition secretary. I have carried out this role for as long as the group has been going. There has been a different theme for the competition every year, and this year, the theme is “Location”.
Winners of this competition will be announced during the Adelaide Plains Festival of Words 2019, at the end of July, when there will be a variety of different workshops and other words and writing related events. All interested persons are most welcome! The program of the Festival will be launched in May 2019, in Gawler.
