Opportunity

Poetry contest

You are invited to enter a poetry contest at the University of Dundee, Scotland

Published on 3 July 2025

To take part in the contest, you should write a poem of no more than one page that responds to "Strawberries" by Edwin Morgan

Watch the video for full instructions. 

We’re open to all kinds of responses: your poem might rhyme but it definitely doesn’t have to! You might respond to the imagery, the tone, the form or something else entirely. We’ll be judging based on your use of language and the imagination you show in your response.

The Prize

The winner of the contest will receive a mystery prize, including a selection of University of Dundee merchandise. Good luck!
