Poetry in motion unite
he non-profit organisation (NPO), Angels Motivation and Career Information, invites all poets in the city to become a part of their dynamic programme.
POLOKWANE – TThe NPO is hosting a poetry workshop with the assistance of the Polokwane Tourism Association (PTA).
The founder, Besley Boshielo, said he felt there was a need for poetry to be highlighted as it is often a neglected art which is why we decided to host this event.
“Usually, singing and dancing are put on the forefront and poetry is often left behind. Our intention is to develop poetry, not only in the city, but the province as a whole,” Boshielo explained.
Category prizes:
Primary school – R 2 000
High school – R 3 000
Adults – R 5 000
He added they want to encourage all poets to take part but said they will use a strict judging criteria to select who will move on to the semi-finals.
Poets will also have an opportunity to learn writing skills and be given guidelines on how to perform on stage at the workshop.
There will also be a special competiton during the workshop where poets will have the opportunity to showcase their talent in three categories – primary school, high school, and adults.
The semi-finals will be held at the Library Gardens auditorium and the finals will be held at Ocean Basket Mall of the North.
Entry fee for poets is R50.
Attendance for the semi-finals is free and tickets for the final is available at R50 per person.
