Wild Wonders

Wild Wonders is a UK poetry competition for young writers aged 4–18, with schools or families using the published submission route. Entrants create an original nature-themed poem for judging, possible publication and prizes. The main challenge is choosing vivid, specific language and shaping a complete response that feels personal while remaining clear within the competition's length guidance.
