At the end of the night, last year’s king and queen, Diké Omeje and Pauline Omoboye, will be handing over their crowns and £100 cheques to the two winners - one chosen by the audience and one by a panel of celebrity judges. If you’d like to throw your hat into the ring give Cathy or Pete a call on 0161 832 3777. Meanwhile last year's winners, Diké Omeje and Pauline Omoboye, as part of their prize, won a publishing deal with Crocus Books. Their collections, Crafting the Practice and Purple Mother are to be placed into poetic orbit at a special event at Night & Day Café, 26 Oldham Street, Central Manchester on Tuesday 21st September, 7.30pm. |
