This year the Victorian Writers Centre honours Doris Leadbetter through its 15th anniversary celebration of the Cup. Hosted by MC Michael Nolan, this special event joins in the excitement of the Overload Poetry Festival and gives writers the chance to present a ONE-MINUTE poem on stage.

It’s exciting, evocative, exhilarating and e…lucrative…

With three judges on hand, entrants have the potential to win first prize of $2000! The runner-up receives $300, while two others receive encouragement prizes of $100 each.

The 2011 Judges: Peter Bakowski, Claire Gaskin and Lisa Gorton.
