Do you carry your poem in your: purse or wallet? in your heart? in your head? in your diary? or on your fridge door!

As part of the Carry a Poem campaign organised by One Book – One Edinburgh, the Scottish Centre for the Book at Edinburgh Napier University is running a competition for all Edinburgh primary-school children. We want the children to draw how they carry their favourite poem. This may be from an image of a poem they have in their imagination or how they actually carry it.

All the entries will be made into an exciting exhibition. This is scheduled for display at the end of February when we will also hold an award ceremony for the winners (with special guests). We need your help to publicise this venture and to encourage as many people as possible to take part. Please post, blog and pass on this information to all the young people you know! All entries must be in by 27 January 2010. For the application form and more information, please visit the Scottish Centre for the Book website .
