AWAY
FROM THE FLOCK POETRY COMPETITION - In
June 2006, Creative Routes and partners, launched the first annual
BonkersFest!, A life size fibreglass sheep, hired for the day
along with other animals, was stolen. The sheep, nicknamed Dolly,
captured the imagination of the local press and a campaign was
mounted for her return. Dolly was recovered by a gentleman several
weeks later in a bush, and is now back with her flock. The notion
of being away from the flock proved particularly moving to the
Creative Routes collective, and the idea for this poetry competition
was born.
David Brindle of the Guardian was incredibly impressed with the
standard of the poetry. Out of hundreds of entries, seven short
listed winners were chosen by Apples & Snakes, to be winners
of the 'AWAY FROM THE FLOCK' Poetry Competition. The poetry competition
was created by Creative Routes in collaboration with The Young
Vic Theatre and Apples & Snakes
