Results of The TRYangle Project Poetry Competition 2011

Let me begin by expressing the gratitude of all of us at Excel for Charity to the poets from across the world who entered this competition in aid of The TRYangle Project. It was indeed heartwarming to have received 153 poems which raised £143.50 for the charity. A small drop in the ocean of what they need to combat the evil of domestic violence, but surely the cash raised will do something for them, and I cannot thank the poets enough for writing to help.

Great thanks to Gabriel Griffin for a good job done, and for such a lovely and detailed report on the competition which can be read here.

Congratulations to the Highly Commended poets; Anne Ballard for 'Secret' and Pat Borthwick for 'Their Door', third prize winner Simon Jackson for 'Punchbag', second prize winner Desmond Kon Zhicheng Mingdé for 'Inside David's Labyrinth' and our overall winner, Sheffield poet, Jenny Donnison for 'Apology.' Talking of apology, you will notice that the poem is presently differently from the other poems. This has been necessitated by a desire to maintain the poem's layout.
