 Lighten Up Online competition no. 1: Wish List 

 

Write an appeal (in verse) to a potentially prize-awarding commercial sponsor for a new quarterly light verse competition to be run by Lighten Up Online.  

 

Hope springs eternal, so I might forward some entries to your targeted sponsors . However, unless one of them is spectacularly successful, there will be no prize for being among the winners of Competition 1 or, indeed, of any others. A selection of the best will, though, appear in our next issue due in June 2008.

 

Entries must be a maximum of 16 lines, clearly marked “Competition 1” in the subject line and sent in the body of an email to the editor at:

 

 editor@lightenup-online.co.uk

 

 

Closing date: 1st  May 2008
