The 2018 Stanza Poetry Competition is open and our theme this year is TRADITION. It’s free to enter but you must be a Poetry Society member who is also a member of a Poetry Society Stanza – but you can join anytime before the competition closes.
Send up to two poems, max 40 lines per poem (not including title).
Top three and ten Commended poets will be published on The Poetry Society website. The winner will be featured in the winter 2018 issue of Poetry News and offered feedback on up to 100 lines of their poetry by one of The Poetry Society’s Poetry Prescription poet/tutors.
The top three poets will receive books and other poetry goodies, and their poems will be sent to the Forward Prize for consideration in the Best Single Poem category.
