Welcome to the
Israel 50 Poetry Competition

We invite you to put pen to paper in prose or in rhyme,
You may be witty, serious, cunning or kind.
Israel's 50th Birthday is the theme,
So you'll have to be creative in order to be seen!

The format is simple just follow these rules
And if you are unsure just stick to the blues.
Sixteen lines is the limit, an average of 160 words,
Entries must be genuine and not malicious,
We don't accept any rude or absurd.

A winter's day in the Galil

Try to include your own reflections,
.... what Israel means to you,
.... How will you be celebrating the momentous celebration of Israel's past and new?
