Foyle Young Poets of the Year
Open
to poets people aged 11-17 years, the Foyle Young Poets of the Year is
the only national poetry prize of its kind that seeks to unearth, promote
and support young poetic talent from across the UK, according to the organisers:
the Poetry Society.
Those young poets whose work is selected will attend a week long residential
course at an Arvon Centre, where they will be tutored by this year’s
judges, Lemn Sissay and Selima Hill.
Winners under the age of 14 years will receive a visit to their school
from a professional poet.
Poems may be entered on any theme, and of any length, and in any shape.
Entry is completely free and you can enter as many poems as you like.
Fifteen overall winners aged 11-17, including up to three international
winners, will have their poems printed in the winners' anthology.
Closing date is July 31, 2009.
