Three budding poets have been selected as the winners of the Translink Smart Movers Poetry competition. Translink teamed up with Poetry NI to run a competition to coincide with National Poetry Writing Month which encouraged passengers to tap into their inner poet, sit back, relax and perfect their poetic prose while onboard bus, coach or train services.
The competition challenged all amateur and professional poets to try writing their own poem whilst drawing inspiration from their travels with Translink, using the themes of Smart Moves, Destinations and Sustainability. Translink and Poetry NI received over 140 poem entries and three winners were selected including Peter Adair, Emma McKervey and Elisabeth Öhlböck.
Pictured are Julie Sherlock, Translink and Colin Dardis, Poetry NI and Smart Movers Poetry Competition winners Emma McKervey and Elisabeth Öhlböck. All three winners were awarded Translink one week travel pass and printed copies of her poem.
