Poetry from around the world

The Poetry Society awards £16,000 in prizes each year. Poets at all stages of their careers are celebrated, and prizes also include ways to support writers’ development: courses, books, membership and publication. The competitions and prizes are a central part of The Poetry Society’s work.

"Welcome to our first international poetry competition of 2025! We’re looking for all kinds of poetry on the theme of Remembering. As always, we encourage you to bend the rules with both content and form".
