Calling all aspirational young poets
The Lord-Lieutenant is inviting all aspirational young poets and writers to submit a composition to celebrate the King's Coronation on May 6th. This invitation is open to all young people aged 18 and under.
The entry judged to be the most appropriate and inspirational will be chosen to be read out (by the author, if willing) as a reading at The Isle of Wight’s own Coronation Celebration Service on May 7th. In addition, a booklet of all suitable compositions will be produced as a lasting commemoration of the Coronation.
The composition should be no less than 50 and no more than 250 words long and can be a poem or prose. It should have the Coronation as its main subject and should reflect both youth and age.
