A message from our friends at QPF for all you Melbourne poets seeking winter respite in 2012:
Queensland Poetry Festival invites expressions of interest and proposals from poets, performer, and artists interested in being part of the 16th annual three-day festival spoken in one strange word. QPF 2012 will run from 24 – 26 August at the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane.
We are keen to hear from all individuals and groups interested in performing at QPF 2012, or who have projects to pitch that can be run in association with the festival. While all projects should have a relationship to poetic language, we encourage applications from artists wishing to explore the relationship between poetry and other art forms. If you are programmed to perform at QPF 2012 flights, accommodation and performance fees will be provided.
Submission deadline: Wednesday 22nd February, 2012
