Literary festival is poetry in motion A RECORD number of people have entered competitions at a Hampshire literary festival which is causing a stir all around the world. More than 3,000 pieces of work have been submitted for the 2004 Annual Writers Conference in Winchester next weekend. Conference director Barbara Large has been receiving scores of letters every day. Entries have been posted from as far afield as Hungary, Turkey, Kenya and the US. Writers send in their work under assumed names so judges can consider entries without prejudice. Pseudonyms being used this year include Dolly Daydream, Dyson Vortex, Gladys Glampot and Maureen O Shannigans.
