If you write poetry and feel that your work deserves wider recognition, enter the quarterly JBWB Poetry Competition.

Now with THREE big prizes:

First Prize: £100 - Second Prize: £50 - Third Prize: £20

and don't forget the NEW 'chuckle bonus'

We all need a lift in these depressing times, and this quarter, JBWB will add a £20 bonus to your prize, whether you come first, second or third, if your poem also provides us with the broadest smile, longest chuckle or deepest belly laugh. So consider this when you write, and see if you can add some humour to brighten up our days...

The winning entries will be posted on the busy JBWB website and feedback will be invited from visitors.
