Hi Katherine,
Unfortunately we don’t run this competition so I’m unable to answer your questions! I would keep checking back to the website for updates: http://www.theelmettrust.org/elmet-poetry-prizes
If your son is interested in writing more poetry, please do have a look at Young Poets Network’s online resources. Right now we have a free competition for poets of any age up to 25 to enter, themed around what nearly-happens in our lives and how it affects us: bit.ly/nearlychallenge
Our teaching resources website Poetryclass might also be of interest to you and your son, to inspire further writing: resources.poetrysociety.org.uk
Don’t hesitate to get in touch again if you have any more questions.
Best wishes,
Helen at Young Poets Network
