The Heart-in-Mouth audio poetry competition, curated by Dave Lordan and Colm Keegan and supported by Fingal county libraries.

Budding writers and performers in the locality are invited to record their most heartfelt work and send it as an MP3 file to Lordan and Keegan, who will judge entries on the strength of the reading as well as the content of the work. The winner will receive an iPod and, along with two runners-up, an invitation to take part in a poetry showcase. The competition closing date is April 20th.
