Free entry writing competitions
Thanks to Alyson for sending me the details of this playwriting competition. We've both had a good look and as far as we can tell it's free to enter. The theme is the climate change. The prize package includes £15,000 and an option to produce yor play at The Globe. You'll need to be UK based and have 'demonstrated a commitment to script-based mediums'.
Thanks to both Fiona and Sharon B for this poetry competition with a £25 book token as the prizes in different categories. The want funny poems, which can either be written, or performed and videod. (Is videod a word? The red line underneath suggests not!)

It's my birthday on Monday. I can't decide what kind of cake to have – what do you suggest?

Happy Birthday for Monday, Patsy. I'd go for lemon drizzle. In fact I might make one and eat some for you!
Alyson
Thanks, Patsy, and I hope you gave a successful day.
Choc 'n' orange chip cake.
Happy Birthday for Monday.
HB
Thank you for all the comp info and submission details. I am not a Twitter/Facebook user, so many thanks Alyson/HB.
You could have a mystery cake in a box, you have to guess what it is (yes or no answers only )– Is it made from vegetables (could be carrot/beetroot). Is there a colour in the name (could be black forest, red velvet, lemon drizzle). If you guess correctly you open the box, if not – well it is your birthday, just open the box and tuck in! 😊
Happy Birthday for Monday.

Happy birthday for Monday Patsy. I hope you have a good day today.
Thanks for the info but I'll pass on the play opportunity. I wouldn't be able to write about climate change, sorry!
Thanks for the TPF info but I mentioned in the last thread that they rejected a story. I'll try with a Xmas one but I won't be holding my breath.
Well done to all with positive news.
Good luck for today Patsy and a very Happy Birthday for Monday. I suggest a selection of cakes, it is your birthday after all why limit yourself to one flavour:) Thanks for all the comp and submission info. Good luck and happy writing everyone!
