The University of Manchester Poetry Competition is now open!

The competition’s theme is ‘Manchester means the world to me’; poems should, therefore, examine what the University means to you, and explore the impact of both the city and the University on the world.

Poems must be written in English, and be 40 lines or less in length.

Submissions are invited from everyone in our University of Manchester community, staff, current students and alumni, with one submission accepted per person.

The closing date for entries is Sunday, 19 May 2019.
