A new poetry competition run by the Premier League offers primary school children the chance to show of their creative skills, with winners seeing their work published in a book.

'Premier League Writing Stars' offers primary school children from England and Wales the chance to write creative verse in different forms, including rap, song lyrics, poetry or haiku.

The competition is inspired by the William Hickson poem "Try, Try Again," which is recited by footballers in the recent Premier League Primary Stars campaign.

The competition asks schoolchildren aged 5-11 to write around the theme of resilience; what does it mean to you to try and try again?

The winning poems will be published in a limited-edition book.

"Premier League Primary Stars has already proved to be a success thanks to the great work our clubs are carrying out in their communities and the breadth of resources the programme makes available to primary school teachers," said Premier League Executive Chairman Richard Scudamore.
