About this Event
Winchester Poetry Day 2024
Winchester Poetry Prize Ceremony 2024
Our popular Winchester Poetry Prize goes from strength to strength, with entries pouring in from talented poets around the world each year.
This exciting live event is an opportunity to hear us count down the commended poems, right through to the winners. Hear the poems being read live by the poets themselves in this special prize giving ceremony, as we celebrate the winners and launch the 2024 anthology.
The Winchester Poetry Prize judge for 2024 is Clare Shaw, who will be presenting this event.
First Prize £1000 | Second Prize £500 | Third Prize £250
Kathryn Bevis Prize of £150 and a year of poetry tuition from The Writing School Online will be awarded for the best poem written by a Hampshire-based poet.
Clare Shaw‘s fourth poetry collection “Towards a General Theory of Love” (Bloodaxe, 2022) won a Northern Writers Award and was a Poetry Society Book of the Year. Clare teaches creative writing at the University of Huddersfield, and is a regular tutor at Wordsworth Grasmere, the Royal Literary Fund and the Arvon Foundation.
With many thanks to our competition sponsors Paris Smith and The Writing School Online.
