The Morrab Library in Penzance has partnered with The Dennis Myner Trust to host The Patricia Eschen Prize for Poetry 2024. The international poetry competition features a new “Sonnet Prize” for the best poem written in this form.
Award-winning poet Katrina Naomi has returned to judge the overall competition and Arizona-based poet Jodie Hollander will be judging the “Sonnet Prize”.
The competition does not have a theme and entries may be written in any form or style but to be eligible, they must be original and not previously published.
Prizes: £2000 for first prize; £1000 for second prize; and £500 for third prize. This year, there is a new, additional, “Sonnet Prize”, an award for the best poem written in this form. It will be judged separately and the winner will receive prize money of £1500
Entry fee: £5 (one entry per person)
