BRITAIN'S MOST PRESTIGIOUS INTERNATIONAL POETRY PRIZE FOR YOUNG WRITERS AGED 11 to 17 YEARS IS NOW
OPEN FOR ENTRIES
The Foyle Young Poets of the Year
Award is now open for entries. The prize is for young writers from
across the world. Last year's competition attracted entries from a
staggering 7,351 young writers
from 60 countries worldwide, making it one of the largest literary
competitions in the world.
Since
it began 16 years ago the Award has kick-started the career of some of
today's most exciting new voices. The phrase 'Former Foyle Young
Poet', is now commonly found in professional biographies as alumni
continue to make their mark on the wider literary world, their names
appearing on bookshelves and at festivals the world over. The Poetry
online Alumni Library
celebrates the successes of these exciting new voices.
"I am absolutely delighted to be
judging the Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award this year. I am certain
we will discover some really exciting new voices."

journey has been transforming and surreal. I would encourage all young
writers to submit to this competition while the chance still remains."
