Forward Poetry Prize

Forward Poetry Prize

The Forward Poetry Prizes were created in 1991. The aim of the prizes is to extend the audience for contemporary poetry. Currently they are the United Kingdom's most valuable annual poetry competition, with awards for Best Collection (£10,000), Best First Collection (£5000) and Best Single Poem (£1000). Highly commended poems are published in the annual anthology, "The Forward Book of Poetry".
