Pen a poem about food
11 March 2008
To mark St George's Day and to celebrate the Year of Reading and the Year of Food and Farming, schoolchildren are being invited to write a poem about what food and farming means to them.
Open to 14 year olds and under, the poem could be about local food, the farmers who produce it, the beautiful English countryside, or one of England's fantastic chefs - anything that makes food and farming special.
Entries must be submitted through a school using the official form which is available from www.celebratestgeorgesday.com.
The closing date for entries is 23 May 2008 and the winners will be announced on the 23 June 2008.
