Like last year, this year too the Poetry Festival presented by The Prakriti Foundation is hosting a poetry competition. Indian poets living in India are invited to submit one poem each. There is no entry fee. The details are here: http://www.poetrywithprakriti.in/ - which I posted in my previous post! 
No harm in tom tomming this competition again, though. Ranvir Shah and all his good people of The Prakriti Foundation are pulling out all stops to make this year’s Poetry Festival every bit as exciting as last years as well as nurturing poetry by putting up competitions like this.
