Create an original creative response to the work carried out, which will be presented at an online Poetry Symposium in late spring/early summer 2026.

Additional expenses may be applied for to cover access costs and any additional support that may be needed.

Open to women poets based in Wolverhampton, London, or Newcastle. You must be based in, or have the ability to travel to, one of these cities in order to apply.
