The Young Producers invites you to apply to an exciting opportunity as part of this year's Nottingham Poetry Festival. We are seeking emerging local and international talent who are looking to expand their poetic and artistic practice, learn from experienced professionals, and create work to be showcased as part of the festival.

This opportunity is open to people aged 18-30 based in Nottingham,UK or internationally, who want to expand their poetry practice in new creative ways.

The project will consist of workshops and tutorials by poet and artist Ahren Warner and installation artist Graham Elstone, followed by a time where you will be paired up with a fellow emerging poet to create a new work.

This work will then form a collaborative exhibition, created by Graham Elstone, and exhibited in City Arts Window Gallery in Nottingham.

To celebrate the exhibition there will be a live in-person/online hybrid showcase of performances and work during Nottingham Poetry Festival.

This is a great opportunity to learn, develop, network, create and showcase your talent.

All workshops and tutorials will be delivered online. All participants must have a good working knowledge of English, and be available for all sessions.
