Enter a Competition
We're looking for articles and pictures and poems to engage and inspire our readers.
If you like writing and expressing your thoughts or you're a painter or photographer, please enter one or more of our competitions.
Entering creative competitions is fun, excellent practise and of course a chance to win.
The winning entry of each section will be published with the winner's byline in the webzine and possibly the quarterly paper magazine too. Each winner will be sent their choice of Jenny's book Think Love (see books) or a hand-painted Free Your Life From Fear touchstone (see miscellaneous).
