ENTER ONE (OR MORE) OF OUR ANNUAL COMPETITIONS
Every year members are invited to enter our popular competitions, giving them the opportunity to demonstrate their artistic credentials. These have given us some memorable compositions and worthy winners. Open to all members.
Words & Music Competition: 8th May
Show off your creative talent by entering our annual songwriting and / or Poetry competition.
This year we have decided to combine the Songwriting and Poetry competitions into a single event. Prizes will still be awarded for the separate event (i.e. Best Song and Best Poem). You can still submit a humorous song – it might also prove to be the best song overall.
If you have written a song or a poem that you feel might entertain us please release your inner muse give it a go. See Gillian Anderson for details
Previous winners of the competition have included:
- Ian Young - Land of the Long White Cloud
- Ronnie Miller - Ballad of Bobby Melville
- Jim Weatherston - The Last Lighthouseman
Humorous Song Competition: (Suspended)
Everybody loves a laugh. Bring a smile to our faces by writing a song that tickles the funny bone..
From quiet homes and first beginnings, out to the undiscovered ends. There’s nothing worth the wear of winning as laughter and the love of friends. (Hillaire Belloc)
