Ambit invite you to submit your poetry on the theme of ‘Cataclysm’ to their Annual Poetry Competition.
According to Oxford Languages, a cataclysm is
- ‘a large-scale and violent event in the natural world.
“the cataclysm at the end of the Cretaceous Period”
-
a sudden violent political or social upheaval.“the cataclysm of the First World War”
I suspect you can come up with a few more recent examples.
The deadline for entries is 15th July.
The entry fee is £6 per poem. Submissions will be judged by poet and playwright Fred D’Aguiar.
Winners receive £500, £250 or £100 and will be published in the October issue of Ambit. Winners and runners up will be invited to read at the October issue launch.
