The winners of the first and second prizes in the solo classes broadcast the readings for which the highest awards were made
This Festival, founded by John Masefield , was originally held in Oxford; since the war it has been held in London. The 1950 Festival (in association with the Arts Council of Great Britain) took place this week at Bedford College, Regent's Park. Tonight listeners hear readings by the first and second prize-winners in the solo classes, which include lyric, narrative, and dramatic poetry, the sonnet, light verse, and prose reading.
