The 2025 Poetry Competition is now closed.

We would like to thank everyone who took the time to enter.

Winners will be announced in June 2025 and we will be holding a celebration event in central London in July to present prizes to the winners and hear a selection of the poems read by winning and commended entrants.

For this year’s competition, we invited poems on the theme of 'caring, family and community'.

Our judge this is Cheryl Moskowitz – a writer, poet, creative translator and educator, as well as a former carer.
