HOW THIS WORKS

Write and submit a poem about climate change and your dream world.

The poems will be shortlisted and published by Comic Relief, and shared with the incredible George the Poet – to inspire his own epic poem, and a film for the BBC.

Your words could feature in a film on TV. AND be seen on social media by people all over the world.

We'll even bring a film crew to film with the winners in each country. So send us your poems or come along to a poetry writing workshop.

Whatever you have to say, we want to hear it!
