Girton College is delighted to invite entries for the 2024 Jane Martin Poetry Prize. Now in its 14th year, the prize is a key part of the College’s support for poetry and will be of interest to all those who are serious about literary excellence.

The competition will be judged by experts drawn from across the literary world and academia. We are thrilled that this year the panel will be led by two judges – Abigail Parry and Bohdan Piasecki.

Building on the success of previous years, the 2024 winner will receive not just a cash prize of £700, but the opportunity to give a reading at a celebratory event, at which the prize will be awarded. There will also be a second cash prize of £300.

The competition opens on 25 January 2024 and closes on 15 March 2024 at noon.
