Foyle Young Poets Award

The Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award is an opportunity for any young poet aged 11-17 to accelerate their writing career. Since it was founded in 1998, the Award has kick-started the career of some of today’s most exciting new voices, such as Sarah Howe, Phoebe Power, Richard Osmond, Jay Bernard and Helen Mort. The winners are among the most promising young literary talent in the UK and worldwide, and The Poetry Society is committed to developing this potential and celebrating former winners throughout their careers.
