The Wilfred Owen Association has launched a competition inviting poems “in the spirit” of the first world war poet, with a first prize of £500, and the chance to be published in an anthology. Owen's best-known poems include 'Dulce et Decorum Est', 'Anthem for Doomed Youth', and 'Strange Meeting'. He was a friend of fellow war poet Siegfried Sassoon, after they met at Craiglockhart war hospital in Edinburgh while Owen was recovering from shellshock. He was killed a week before the end of the war, in November 1918. The competition deadline is 30 June.
