National Poetry Day 2010:
Home
National Poetry Day 2010 will take place on Thursday 7 October. This year's theme is 'Home'. Although we celebrate the day with exciting events (more details coming soon!), the Poetry Society is not the official organiser. To contact the organisers, click here.
Various Poetry Society competitions take place on or around, or have celebrations linked to, National Poetry Day. The Stanza Poetry Competition winner is announced on National Poetry Day, as are the winners of the Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award. The National Poetry Competition closes at the end of October, giving poets inspired by the day time to pen their poems and enter.
The Poetry Society runs an extensive education programme of education work: Poetryclass INSET days, school membership packages (for individual schools and networks) and the SLAMbassadors UK nationwide youth slam championship. To find out more about the education work that we offer or to organise a poet visit, please see our education pages. Alternatively you can contact our education team.
