THERE were some really excellent entries to this competition to celebrate the acclaimed show inspired by the best-selling poetry anthology and so I was glad to have three prizes to give away.

A copy of Staying Alive goes to Mrs KJ Wood of Bournemouth, Tom Gardner of Fareham and Philippa Lawrence of Salisbury.

The theme of Growing Up and Growing Old was obviously inspiring. I was impressed with the skill and range of the entries.

If you're not one of the winners, you can still win two tickets to see the Staying Alive show at Winchester's Theatre Royal on Tuesday, 4 May. The show brings some of the poems in the anthology to life through music and performance.
