Is Royalty Relevant? A Poetry Competition A project of Holland Park Press Magazine (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (April 2020). We provide the following information as an archive. About We invite you to write a poem about a member or members of royal families from countries around the world. This is the theme but first and foremost we are looking for outstanding poems, literary and subject wise, we don’t need to agree with your views, but we want to feel your poem comes from the heart and adds something new to our poetic legacy. You can write about any aspect of royalty: their role, actions, dress sense, sense of duty, scandals, economic relevance, artistic or sporting interests, their dogs and other pets or even their handbag (what’s in it?). You can be a royalist or staunch republican, that’s all fine, as long as, we are moved, excited, amused, annoyed or inspired by your poem. No Fees! This contest does not charge mandatory fees.
