2012 Competition now open!
Click here to enter.


You might not consider yourself ‘a poet’, but by sharing your words with us you could find yourself performing your poem in front of a panel of judges and a live audience, with the chance of winning a publishing contract with the UK’s largest publisher of new poetry!

There is also a top of the range laptop computer up for grabs for the under 18 winner.

We are inviting entries on any subject and in any style from poets of all ages and all walks of life. Whether you want to dedicate your heartfelt poem to a loved one; walk down memory lane; bring out the lighter side of life in humorous verse or have just written what you’re thinking and feeling, we want to read it!

The final was fantastic last year - This year is shaping up to be even better.





Slam finalists informed!
The time has finally come for Poetry Rivals to announce the finalists for this year's slam! After weeks of intensive reading of each and every single poem published in our 2011 anthologies our editors have chosen the top 100 poets to attend the slam.

Each finalist will shortly receive a letter to congratulate them on their success, which they have been longing to receive since the competition closed on 31st August 2011.

We will of course be announcing the finalists on our website but they will not be announced until Monday 6th February 2012 to give each finalist the chance to find out by post first.
Good luck to everyone who was published last year, fingers crossed!
