The results of Swale Life International Poetry Competition July 2012 were due to be announced today, 31st October. However we regret that for the first time, we have had to reassign the competition to the next quarter; October 2012. The reason for this decision is the extremely low number of entries. We have not been persuaded that the challenge to produce a worthy winners will be fierce enough with under 50 entries. Whilst the primary aim of our competition series is to raise funds for charities, we also strive to produce literary champions from respectable contests measured both in numbers and quality levels.
In the light of the above, all the entries from July have been automatically entered into the October 2012 competition. We shall be writing to the entrants individually over the next 72 hours, and anyone who does not wish to be entered into the October competition will receive a full refund of his/her entry fees.
If you entered the Swale Life Poetry Competition (July 2012) and we have not yet contacted you for any reason before midnight on the 2nd of September, please let us know by e-mail excelforcharity@easternlightepm.com
