Spring so they say is when a young man's thoughts turn to ... well never mind that, for our Spring Fever poetry competition we want to know what this most looked for of seasons means to YOU!)

Is it the green growing love of a new relationship? The joy of a new world re-awakening? The wonder in the timeless cycle of birth, death and rebirth?

Whatever aspect of spring causes you to wax feverishly lyrical we want to hear it!

Not only that, we want you to illustrate your poem with either a photograph or other graphic of your own or one from our site gallery. (Browse gallery)

The judge will take into consideration how well your poem illustrates the graphic so choose carefully!

All our site photographs can be seen in our competition Gallery and can be added to your poem when you submit your entry. (Browse gallery)

If using your own photograph, you will be given the opportunity to upload when submitting your entry.

Spring Fever is limited to 100 entries!

To be sure of a place register now and then submit your entry before the closing date, 21st March, 2011.

You will not be allowed to forget as we will send out a reminder approximately 1 week before the closing date!
