What3Words Poetry Contest

What3Words and Uut Poetry are pleased to announce the following contest:

What3Words has named every 3x3 meter square in the world with a unique combination of 3 dictionary words. The basis for this poetry competition is to use the three word address where the most significant event in your life took place as the title of your poem. The event could be anything from your birth, to the place you got married, to the exact place where you got your dream job. In addition to making the three words the title of the poem, use the three words, any associations with them and the memories of the time and place in your poem.

Entries will be reviewed by Brooks Lampe, editor of Uut Poetry, and the finalists will be judged by literary agent Sallyanne Sweeney of Mulcahy Associates. Sallyanne was also a judge for the 2014 Undiscovered Voices Award. First prize for the competition will be a year’s full membership to the Poetry Book Society, second and third places will receive complimentary what3words t-shirts.

To find your three words, go to the app (iOS/Android) or to the website what3words.com. You can search by address or postcode and then move the pin over the 3m squares to find the individual three word address for your poem’s title.

Submit your poem here. One entry per contestant. Please follow formatting guidelines and select the “contest” tag. Finalists will be posted on Uut Poetry. Ends Aug. 3.
