THE MOTH POETRY PRIZE
ABOUT THE PRIZE
The Moth Poetry Prize is one of the biggest prizes in the world for a single unpublished poem. The prize is open to anyone (over 16) as long as the poem is previously unpublished, and each year it attracts thousands of entries from new and established poets from over 50 countries worldwide.
The prize is judged anonymously by a single poet. The judge only learns who the shortlisted poets are following the selection of the winning poems. Past judges include Deborah Landau, Daljit Nagra, Leontia Flynn and Billy Collins.
The shortlist will be announced in March 2019 and the four shortlisted poems will feature in the spring issue of The Moth.
The winners will be invited to a special prizegiving event at Poetry Ireland in Dublin in the spring of 2019.
Past winners include Natalya Anderson, Paul McMahon, Lee Sharkey, Ann Gray (whose poem was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem) and Abigail Parry (who was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection).
Read about last year’s winner, Natalya Anderson, in the Irish Times.
