THEATR Gwaun is now accepting entries for the third Gwaun Writers’ Festival.

Amateur writers of plays, stories and poems are being invited to submit their work, which must be suitable for a family audience, by the closing date of February 21.

The best will then be chosen to be performed on stage by Theatr Gwaun’s talented house company Best Foot Forward.

Entries can be in English or Welsh, and are welcome from writers of all ages.

Organiser Mandy Barrowclift said: “Theatr Gwaun is committed to encouraging local talent in the arts. This competition is a real opportunity to see your play, poem or story come to life at the festival, which will take place on Saturday, March 28 next year."

Full guidelines will be posted on the Theatr Gwaun website, or for more information email Mandy on mandy_barrowclift@yahoo.co.uk
