From the festival that brought you a sold-out night of live univocal poetry in 2008, t**his year The London Word Festival proudly keeps on waving the formalist flag, organising an online competition to celebrate the curious, fun and wonderfully nerdy short form of writing known as** //**The Fib**////.//

Teaming up with Pen Pusher Magazine, we are seeking out the best fib submitted through our website. Ten finalists (two chosen each month) will go through to a grand final at the live launch of the London Word Festival. They will be performed and the best will be picked out by an illustrious panel of judges from the world of literature, poetry, comedy and the arts. The winner will receive tickets to the festival, as well as seeing their fib published in the Spring edition of Pen Pusher magazine. Five runners up will also be published in PP (but probably in slightly smaller type).

Check out some Fibs submitted by friends of the festival including Simon Barraclough and Tim Wells at our [|Fibbers Gallery .]

Entries should be made on the Fib page [|here].


 * ABOUT THE FIB**

The Fib is a 6 line, 20 syllable poem based on the classical Fibonacci sequence. A little bit like a Haiku, it has a strict formal structure, but the restriction here is that the number of syllables on any given line must follow the classical sequence: starting with '0' and '1', the next number is made by adding the two previous ones together, i.e. 1

The Fib is an original invention by Gregory K Pincus. Read more about how he came up with it here.
