The nonprofit Montreal Prize is a first-of-its-kind global poetry competition awarding $50,000 for one poem. Our international jury of ten distinguished poets from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and the Americas will select the top 50 entries. This shortlist will be published in our groundbreaking global poetry anthology. And from that shortlist our prize judge, Andrew Motion, the former UK poet laureate, will select the winner of the 2011 prize. Entering your poems in the Montreal Prize is easy and secure using our online entries form. The 2011 Montreal Prize
is now closed to new entries - many thanks to everyone who supported us!
