It is run in collaboration with local publishers Dithering Chaps and Arts University Bournemouth and is open to either poetry or flash fiction.
The organisers are also supporting the Bournemouth-based arts organisation, The Outsiders Project. It is also partnered with the Bournemouth Writing Festival.
