Win a ticket to Nova Festival

Can you inspire master limerick maker John Hegley to write the 2012 Nova limerick?

John is known for his mastery of the three long and two short lines and he wants your best opening line to inspire a very special Nova Limerick. You write the first line and he'll finish it off...

All you need to do is tweet @novafestival with the first line of the Nova limerick. You can enter as many times as possible until the closing date of 27th April.  

The winner gets a ticket to Nova and a signed copy of the limerick, oh and we will also film John reading your winning entry with mandolin accompaniment (we never said it wasn’t random!)

Have a go now!

John Hegley is appearing at Nova Festival

The people's Poet Laureate whose interests include dogs, glasses, guillemots and potatoes makes a welcome appearance at Nova. He’ll be spreading joy, humour and wordy wisdom in his inimitable and tuneful way throughout the weekend.
