All works submitted as a read aloud piece to the walk · listen · create Shorelines project, that are either about or inspired by the Wales coast, automatically get entered into the Cover to Cover competition.

How does it work?

You can participate as a writer, by writing and submitting a text, poetry or prose, of under 250 words.

You can also participate by reciting a submitted text and recording your submission, either as audio, or video.

Both writers and reciters can submit images connected to their work.

Are there limitations?

Yes.

• Your submitted text has to be 250 words or less.
• You can only submit work that you have the right to distribute. So, you can not submit copyrighted texts or images. Unless you hold the rights.
• By participating, you make your submitted work available under a Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial license. This basically means others can use your work, on the condition they credit you, and that they do not use your work commercially.
