the simon powell
poetry prize

Simon was always a champion of new poetry, which is why last year he started the Poetry Live Competition. We thought it would be fitting to carry on this great idea and rename it in his memory.

Entry requirements
The only entry requirement is that each applicant
is a GCSE student who has attended Poetry Live!
with their school in the academic year 2009/2010.
To enter, a student must submit by post a single
poem of not more than 25 lines. Only a poem on
paper will be accepted – not an email. It should be
accompanied by the following details, which must
be on a separate sheet of paper (not on the same
sheet as the poem):

• Full name
• Age
• Full address including postcode
• Telephone number
• Email address
• Name of school
• Name of English teacher who organised the Poetry Live! trip
• Date of the Poetry Live! trip

All entries must be received by
Friday 26th March 2010.

The address is:
The Simon Powell Poetry Prize, Poetry Live Ltd.,
PO Box 29, Denbigh, North Wales LL16 3YE
Every entry will be read by the judging panel –
all distinguished poets – a short list drawn up and
from this a short list of ten will be chosen.
The winners will be announced on Monday 7th
June.

The Prize
This year, the prize will be an invitation to a
workshop with Daljit Nagra and a chance to
read your winning poem at a Poetry Live! event.
Finally, you will get a signed set of books from
the poets.
