The December Challenge
Deadline For Entries: 22nd December 2019 Winner Announced: 25th December 2019 The Challenge: As I am a little later than normal, I thought we should go ‘Seasonal’ and give away a present for the first time in a while. The Challenge then is to write me a Christmas poem. This can be traditional or cynical, you choose. The Prize: The winning poem will be sent out to the ten thousand odd people who subscribe to our mailing list on Christmas morning as a proper Hedgehog Happy Christmas Message. The winning poet will also receive a beautiful wee Writers Notepad – all embossed with their initials and generally posh leather and paper. To enter – just email your poem to me at poetry@hedgehogpress.co.uk And that is about that. Thank you again for joining in with all of these challenges. It is meant to be fun and hopefully some of them have hit the mark for you :) Winner: Just a quick update to say congratulations to Kate Young for her wonderful Christmas poem. Really happy that the Writer’s Notepad thingy made it to the lady too..
Happy New Year!


Delighted with the Christmas calendar, such lovely photography and a varied selection of poems. Thank you Mark.
