The Templar Poetry Pamphlet & Collection Awards are in their sixth year, offering contemporary poets writing in English the opportunity to have their work published in pamphlet, collection and anthology formats. Many poets published from previous awards have gone on to have their work recognised in major literary awards including The Forward Prize, The Aldeburgh First Collection Prize, The Strong Award for best First Collection by an Irish poet, The Manchester Poetry Prize, the Glen Dimplex New Writers Awards and numerous 'single poem' competitions including the National Poetry Prize, Academi Cardiff, The Wigtown Poetry Prize, the Bridport Prize and The Strokestown Poetry Prize.
Three winning pamphlets, along with a selection of the best individual poems selected for inclusion in the annual anthology, will be published at the 2011 Derwent Poetry Festival in Derbyshire in November 2011. The festival offers readings to the pamphlet and anthology poets, alongside the Festival guest poets and publishers. Previous guests at the Derwent Festival include Ciaran Carson, Jean Sprackland and Simon Armitage.
