Enter the $4,000 Coriole poetry competition and you could have your poetry read at tables across Australia.
Bringing poetry to the table on wine bottles, the $4,000 Coriole poetry competition will select the 2012 Australian Wine Poet. The winning poet will also receive the honour of a Coriole red wine named after them, along with six of their poems included on the back of the named wine bottles.
To be released in 2012, the six bottles will be packaged together with a brochure on the poet, the project and the wine. The wine is a blend of Cabernet and Barbera, a high quality wine that sells for around $35 per bottle.
Director of Coriole Vineyards, Mark Lloyd said, “What better way to enjoy good wine than with a poem at the table? What better way to enjoy poetry than with a glass of good wine in your hand?"
A celebration of the written word, previous Coriole poetry competitions featured the work of highly regarded poets, Jude Aquilina and Peter Goldsworthy, on wine bottles. The successful poetry series was well received by wine drinkers and poetry lovers alike!
For entry into the Coriole Poetry Competition, poets should submit six poems, which are no longer than 100 words each. The style of the poetry should be suitable for reading at the table and can include any subject matter, be humorous or serious. Previously published poems may be submitted.
Two Australian award-winning poets will judge the poems anonymously.
The poetry competition is open to Australian residents over the age of 18. Entry is free.
Entry forms can be downloaded from www.coriole.com/wine-poet and submitted via email helen@coriole.com or posted to Helen Tothill, PO Box 9 McLaren Vale, South Australia 5171.
