Given the Snowy Mountains’ connection with one of Australia’s most famous poems, ‘The Man From Snowy River’, it’s not surprising that poetry and verse will feature prominently in the 2nd Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music on the June long weekend. In recognition of the significance that verse and the spoken word has had in the region, the Perisher Snowy Mountains of Music will be holding an open poetry competition called the Broken Ski and the Snowy Poetry Cup will be given to the best recited poem at the festival. 2009 Winners
