International Women's Day Poetry and Photographic Competition 2010

International Women's Day (IWD) will be promoted across the whole of South Gloucestershire with a poetry and photographic competition entitled 'A Woman You Know'. We want to hear from you about one woman who has influenced your life; your mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend, teacher, wife, daughter or even an historical figure, etc - a woman who has loved you, inspired you, supported you, believed in you, someone you love, a woman you know who has made a difference in your life.
