INDIGO FIRST COLLECTION COMPETITION
Thank you to everyone for taking part in the competition. The standard of writing filled us both with huge optimism for the future of poetry. All those mentioned had the potential to be fine collections, worthy of being given a wider audience. Please feel encouraged by this, even if you weren't one of our winners.
More competition opportunities will be coming up soon!
