  2. How to respond

Description

Are you a brilliant poet looking for a platform to get your words out to the world? If so, this brief has your name scribbled all over it.

We’ve joined forces with clinic, the super cool poetry, art and music collective and producers of “London’s sickest poetry night” (Dazed & Confused) to offer two IdeasTap members an unmissable opportunity.

As one of two winners, not only will you will have a poem published in clinic’s summer poetry anthology, you will also get to develop your literary dexterity in a poetry workshop led by poet Jack Underwood and you will have the chance to perform at the clinic anthology launch party.

Three runners up will also join in the workshop, which is taking place on 21 April at IdeasTap HQ in London.

To be in the running, just upload two poems of no more than 200 words to your IdeasTap portfolio and link to them in the summary box when you apply. And the best poets will win. Simples.

 

This brief closes at 12 noon on Friday 24 February and is open to all IdeasTap members aged 16 to 30. If you have any technical queries, email info@ideastap.com. Late entries will not be accepted under any circumstances, including technical issues – so make sure you don’t leave your application to the last minute.

  • I was wondering if this event is an annual thing
    or just a one-off?

  • Hi Joe,
    I've uploaded the poems, linked them in the box, but when I click 'Submit' it changes to 'Saving' and spins round without appearing to have actually worked!
    What shall I do?...don't want to miss the deadline!
    Ben.
