The Centre for Creative Arts (University of KwaZulu-Natal),
with principal funding from the City of Durban invites all students to submit
their poems as part of the 19th Poetry Africa Schools Competition.
Poetry Africa is committed to nurturing a culture of reading
and writing poetry, especially among the youth of KZN. The festival invites
primary to high school learners to take up this exciting opportunity of
submitting material for the poetry competition which is held in conjunction
with the festival. The poems can be written in either English or isiZulu and - since
there is no topic - writers have the licence to get creative. The Festival will
accept up to two poems per learner; - illegible entries will not be
considered.
Poems must be submitted either by hand at the Centre for
Creative Arts (CCA), UKZN, Howard College Campus, Mazisi Kunene Avenue,
Glenwood, Durban, 4001 or via email to poetryafrica@cca-ukzn.co.za or by
fax to 031 260 3074. The deadline is September 19, 2015.

place from October 12 to 17, 2015, in Durban.
Winners will read their poems on the main stage of the
Poetry Africa festival on the evening of October 16. Prizes will be awarded by
Adams Booksellers and the Centre for Creative Arts (UKZN).
