One of the poetry competitions I entered during the summer I completely forgot about, heard nothing, assumed the usual etc. It was only while idly googling my name - a vanity I perform occasionally - that I found I'd been shortlisted - http://www.attleboroughpoetry.4t.com/ No-one got in touch and I'd never have known! It has had me double checking back over all the other competitions I heard nothing back from (though with no success!)
Congrats Peter. I added the results in case someone else missed them.
