The 2025 International Book & Pamphlet Competition is Now OPEN

The Poetry Business is delighted to announce that the 39th International Book & Pamphlet Competition, judged by Kim Moore, is now open!

The International Book & Pamphlet Competition was the first of its kind in Britain. Now in its 39th year, it has launched the careers of many well-established and successful poets, including Selima Hill, Michael Laskey, Daljit Nagra, Pascale Petit, Catherine Smith and Kim Moore herself.

The two winning collections are beautifully produced and promoted widely, and entered for
all eligible awards and prizes. They are also sold in bookshops throughout the UK and through online stockists of The Poetry Business publications.
