The Poeta Atlantiae will be sponsoring a poetry competition at this event. The subject is the War of the Roses. Adult poets must include references to the red Lancastrian rose and the white Yorkist rose and/or the red Lancastrian dragon and the white Yorkist Boar in the poem itself. Youth poets need only have reference to red and white roses or a red dragon battling a white boar. Extra points will be awarded for reference to archery and archers since the Poeta is an archer!!! The poem must be written in a period style and documentation provided stating the style and time period of your poem (a paragraph will do). Prizes will be given for adult poetry and youth poetry.
