To coincide with this special day in	2003

TYWC members are invited to submit their own original poem on the topic of

WAR!
Sadly appropriate, given the current situation in the world  and that last year's contest theme was peace.
Of course, if you want to escape from such gloomy thoughts  -and who doesn't-
then we will also accept poems on any happier topic!

Special Certificates will be awarded to the best entries.

The deadline for submissions is March 21st 2003. The results will be announced as soon as possible thereafter. Entries will be judged by a panel of distinguished experts. The judges decision in all matters is final. TYWC will post the winning entries on its webpage. Copyright of all submitted poems remains with the authors.

Submit your entry using this World Poetry Day Contest submission form.
