*If you are an Unpublished Poet (i.e. you've never had a poem selected for publication, in print or online, by an editorial selection process) then you can enter our Unpublished Poet Prize. This is an additional prize awarded to poets who have yet to have their work published. Simply tick the box on the entry form when uploading your poems or, if submitting by post, mark your entry with a U, and your work will be entered into the award.
