Coventry is acknowledged internationally as a city of Peace and Sanctuary and in recent years has given sanctuary to more Syrian Refugees than any other local authority in the country. This year
Positive Images would like to celebrate this theme in the annual Peace Festival Poetry competition.
The competition theme can be interpreted in any way you choose – whether there is a certain room, house or environment that you consider to be your safe place or whether you want to celebrate Coventry or another city or town that is close to your heart.

The competition is FREE and open to entries worldwide, however all entries must be written in English.
