10 March / 7:30pm / Reference Point / Tickets

Join us at Reference Point on 10 March, where we’ll be announcing the winner of this year’s Poet’s Prize. Before judge Nisha Ramayya announces the winner, we’ll hear readings from last year’s winner, Kandace Siobhan Walker, as well as shortlisted poets Fahad Al-Amoudi, Ahana Banerji, Annie Hayter, Prerana Kumar and Nina Reljić.

The Poet’s Prize is run in partnership with CHEERIO, and is for English-language poets who are at the crucial stage of creating their debut pamphlet or collection. The Prize was founded in 2017 with support from Jerwood Charitable Foundation.

This year’s judges are Rachel Long, Nisha Ramayya and Jay Gao.

The winning poet will receive a financial reward of £2,500, as well as expert, personalised professional and editorial advice and publication of their entry in THE WHITE REVIEW.
