The London Magazine has been home to some of the most prestigious poets in its long publishing history, from John Keats to Sylvia Plath. Their annual Poetry Prize seeks out new voices in poetry, providing a platform for publication in the UK’s oldest literary journal.

All poems submitted must be previously unpublished and no longer than 40 lines. There are no criteria as to theme, form or style but are looking for diverse work which is not afraid to innovate and startle. This competition is open to international entries.
