The Passionfruit Review: Here and Now 2025: Call for submissions
Deadline: Sat 7 Jun 2025
The Passionfruit Review is, first and foremost, a place for love poetry. In this contest, it is calling for love poems that engage with the world around us, with the here and now.
About the theme:
“Why write love poetry in a burning world? To train myself, in the midst of a burning world, to offer poems of love to a burning world” – Katie Farris
We want to read everything about the world around you, from the domestic to the global. Send us poems about your kitchen table, your favourite tree, the cracks in your ceiling; send us your existential dread, your nascent optimism, your pains, your fears, your comforts and your commute. Tell us what it means for you to exist in the world at this moment in time. As always, we are open to broad interpretations of the theme: feel free to surprise us and to stretch our imaginations!
1st prize £400
2nd prize £75
3rd prize £25
Our judge, Vanessa Lampert, will also select up to 12 additional entries to be published alongside the prize-winners in a special issue of The Passionfruit Review.
The entry fee is £3 per poem/£5 for three poems.
