The new publication Rhyme & Reason, featuring a selection of poems from the competition, was also launched at the event on Friday.
Some 25 schools from across Derry submitted over 1,000 entries featuring poems based on the themes of ‘My Dream’ for the Key stages 1-2 and ‘My Community’ for Key stages 3-4 and Post 16.
