In the Spanish town of Buñol, La Tomatina is a festival where the biggest and messiest FOOD FIGHT takes place on the last Wednesday of August when people throw tomatoes at each other. Have you got a funny or messy story about food to share? In Australia, August is recognised as POETRY MONTH. Can you combine the two somehow? If not, we’re still delighted to receive your poems on other topics!
