The Caterpillar Poetry Prize 2024
If you have written a poem you think would appeal to 7-11-year olds, then why not enter the The Caterpillar Poetry Prize 2024? The prize is open to anyone over 16, and the poem can be on any subject.
The judge this year will be Joseph Coelho, who was appointed Children's Laureate in the UK in 2022. He started out as a performance poet and is committed to making the reading and writing of poetry accessible to all. He has said that poetry is often what people turn to in times of need, ‘because we instinctively know, deep down in our core, that poetry transcends.'
The winning poem will feature in the summer 2024 issue of The Caterpillar and in the Irish Times online.
Closing date 31 March 2024
