DPF Prize for Poetry 2025 is a national poetry competition run by Derby Poetry Festival, seeking newly written, high-quality poems and writing. The winners (First, Second, Third and a prize for a shortlisted writer from the East Midlands) will receive a cash prize.

The prize is open to poets and writers based in the UK.
Previous winners include Amy L. King and Kate MacAlister.
This year's judge is the brilliant Jake Wild-Hall.
