The Fortnight New Poem Prize is meant to celebrate poetry in a fast-paced digital world,
where too often prizes are entered with interminable waiting times between submission and result. For this prize, any original, English-language poem written by the author is eligible, even one that has appeared in print before (online or on paper, for instance). The poem must be less than 70 lines long, and must have been written or published in the year of submission. All poets are eligible to enter, 18 or over, so long as they do not work for Eyewear Publishing or are related to anyone employed at the company. Poems can be submitted for seven days, and then a shortlist of the 14 best poems is announced on our widely-read website (archived by the British Library). The winner is announced a fortnight from commencement of the prize, and they are paid the same day by PayPal invoice. The prize is £140 and publication on our world-famous blog. All rights remain with the poet. Poets may submit up to 7 poems for the fee of £7.
THE JUDGE: Dr Todd Swift, Writer-in-residence, Pembroke College, Cambridge, and Director of Eyewear.
