The editor of The Downlander is happy to accept your submissions at any time, by email, post or at meetings; but please don’t submit the same poem for a Downlander that you intend to submit for the EB-J. The Competition is open to all members and there is no fee.  Up to three poems may be submitted, preferably new work; older poems are acceptable. Please submit them anonymously with your name and title of the poem in a sealed envelope attached to each entry.  Submit them to: Hilary Bourne- Jones, 88 Oxendean Gardens, Lwr.

It is acceptable to bring your EB-J entries along to the June meeting and pass them over to Hilary personally to pass on to that year’s adjudicator
