YOUNY people in Tenbury and the Teme Valley are being encouraged to write poetry.
Tina Cole, who is a poet, has been given a grant by Malvern Hills District Council to support the initiative that involves primary and secondary schools.
Poets, including Tina, are working with children in four primary and two secondary schools but it is hoped that others will get involved.
There will be £50 for the winner of each of two categories, for seven to 11-year-olds and 11 to 17-year-olds, as well as other prizes.
Closing date for the poems is the end of July and more information is available by calling Tina Cole, telephone 01568 750675 or visiting www.poetryintenbury.org
