A COMPETITION in memory of poet Charles Causley has been launched. The competition, open to young poets between the ages of 15 and 19, has been organised by the Charles Causley Trust. It offers two awards to the value of £250 each for the winning writers. The competition has won the backing of Cornwall County Council, which described it as a ?very positive innovation?. The county council is putting up half the total prize money. Entrants can submit one poem only that must be in English and unpublished. For further details send a stamped addressed envelope to the Competition Secretary, Charles Causley Trust Competition, Trafalgar, Goodman?s Lane, Pensilva, Liskeard, Cornwall, PL14 5PH. Charles Causley, who died 18 months ago, aged 86, was one of Britain?s foremost poets. He was born and lived almost all his life in Launceston. The Charles Causley Trust administers finances relating to Causley?s work and maintains his former home in Launceston. A separate body, the Charles Causley Society, has also been set up to maintain interest in the poet?s work. It already has more than 30 members and is planning a series of events, one of which will commemorate Causley?s birthday on August 24.
