Poem of the Week 2008: a virtual anthology on Brisbane's City Cats
After its success in 2007, the Poem of the Week Project is now calling for submissions for 2008. Submissions are invited from Queensland poets and should be original, well-crafted poems, which express something fresh about the City of Brisbane and/or its river.
Each accepted poem will be developed by 4UTV into a 30-second program to run for one week on the digital screen inside each of the ten Brisbane City Cat Ferries to a potential audience of 120,000 City Cat passengers. The project will run for a period of 6-months, starting in late March/early April 2008.

be included.
