If you enjoy poetry and fancy yourself a bit of a poet, Tararua District Library is holding a poetry competition.
The competition is open to anyone over the age of 16 and entries will be accepted from poets nationwide.
Library assistance Alice Leadbetter said the competition opens on July 26 and entries can be sent until August 20.
This gives the judges a week to decide the winner, which will be announced on National Poetry Day on August 27.
Any kind of poetry style will be accepted, even haikus, and there is no word limit.
