The Poetry Book Society's second annual National Student Poetry Competition is now open!

The only nationwide prize of its kind, last year's inaugural Competition judged by George Szirtes saw entries from universities

across the country, and the £100 first prize was scooped by Sophie Clarke from Oxford University.

The prizes have been expanded this year and the winner will receive £200, with a second prize of £50 and third prize of £25.

All three will receive Full PBS memberships.

Eight highly commended poems will receive Associate membership of the PBS and a selection of books.
