Gobbledegook Poetry Competition for Children

Inspired by the delightful nonsense poetry of Joy Cowley, we challenge you to celebrate National Poetry Day by writing your own gobbledegook poem and make our judges laugh. Biggest laugh wins!

Awesome prizes for you and your school - 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. Presented by the Ignition Children's Book Festival - a partnership between University Book Shop Otago and Dunedin Public Libraries.

Competition opens Friday 23rd August (National Poetry Day) - open to all South Island primary/intermediate school children (years 1-8).

Competition page goes live on National Poetry Day
