Kids News Bushfire Poetry Competition closes on 20 February 2021

There’s still time for primary and secondary students to submit poems about what they felt, saw, heard or went through during the 2019-20 bushfires.

If you know a budding poet, encourage them to submit their poems by 5pm AEDT on 20 February 2021.

Poems can be submitted, and more information can be found, on the Kids News Bushfire Poetry Competition page. There are plenty of tips around, including author Jackie French’s five rules for writing a poem.
