IPT Poetry Prize is dedicated to a diverse array of the best contemporary poetry in Italian. We aim to provide authors, especially young emerging poets, with a far-reaching forum in which to present their work.
Language
IPT is dedicated to Italian poetry, but we strive not to be prescriptive in our guidelines and would therefore encourage submissions to not necessarily be written in Italian, but to engage with Italian language, including any Italian other language or dialects, or linguistic pastiche.
Jury
This year, all submissions will be evaluated by IPT funding members, Adele Bardazzi, Roberto Binetti, and Olmo Calzolari, together with two of the leading poets of contemporary Italy: Alessandra Carnaroli and Renata Morresi.
Prizes
The winner of the first prize will receive £200. In addition, the jury will select up to five authors to read and present their submitted poems in a dedicated event as part of IPT seminar series.
How to Submit
Only unpublished material should be submitted. Submissions should include between 1 and 3 poems together with a brief commentary (max. 500 words) around one of these words: forma, genere, voce. Please include a short biographical note (max. 100 words). Poems should be submitted to [email protected] by 1 September 2023. Late submissions will not be accepted. We plan to announce the outcome of the competition by February 2024.
Updates will be shared also on IPT FB page and at this link:
