POSTCARDS COMPETITION

Picture This: Postcards and Letters Beyond Text

Myriad is proud to be supporting Picture This: Postcards and Letters Beyond Text, a conference hosted by the University of Sussex which invited all who are interested in letters and postcards to come together to consider them from a range of critical perspectives, and through creative practice. For more information about the conference visit the Picture This website.

The Postcards Competition – an innovative mixed-media competition – was one of the highlights of the three day conference. The varied postcard entries feature poems, short stories, original artwork, photos and humorous collages. The entries were judged, in correspondence, by the novelist Nicola Barker, whose latest book Burley Cross Postbox Theft is a comic novel told in letter form.

The selected entries are reproduced below. They have also have been published in a special edition booklet. To view the booklet click the link, and to order your copy contact the conference organisers on: enquiries@postcards-letters.org.uk
