The Sheffield Poetry Prize

The Sheffield Prize category honours the best single poem from a collection submitted to the Book & Pamphlet Competition by a Sheffield entrant.

First prize is £100 and publication in The North magazine. All entries submitted by poets with a Sheffield postcode are automatically entered into this category.

And to celebrate the 25th (or 'silver') anniversary of The Poetry Business, The Sheffield Assay Office has also kindly donated an engraved silver bookmark for the overall winner of the Sheffield Poetry Prize.

The category was launched in 2008 to celebrate The Poetry Business' move to Sheffield, and is sponsored by The University of Sheffield.
