We have now contacted the ten winners of this year’s competition to inform them of their success. Well done to our winners, but congratulations to everyone who entered the competition.

As our judge Daljit Nagra said,

“This year more than ever, the submissions have shown an alarming maturity in their approaches to subject matter. Teenagers with the minds of wise elders as they examine issues such as war, displacement, body issues, exam pressures and inter-generational tensions.

“Well done to everyone who entered, and it is sad that so many poets must miss out because the standard, as ever, is so incredibly high.”
