Congrats to the 20 talented poets who made the long list. The standard of entries was very high. There were 408 entries in total (including Bursary and 50% Discounted categories).

The announcement of the shortlist of 10 will happen on the News page end of next week. The final 10 will be published in The Plaza Prizes Anthology 2. So, pop back to see which made the cut. (Please note do not release names at this point, not until the judging process is fully complete. We will post all long lists in our anthology, and on our website, later.)

The Plaza Poetry Prize (20 lines max) is open to enter. Judge: Lachlan McKinnon. 1st prize: £1,000. Deadline: 30th September 2024.
