Sometimes, a source of inspiration for that next big story could come from the most ordinary everyday things! The Imagery writing competitions are all about using inspiration provided by real-world items or places as the basis for your writing.

For this poetry comp, you may choose any inanimate object or real-world location that inspires you, and devise an Isobelle Carmody-related poem from it.

Entries open from now until 1st May 2012.
