THE FORWARD PRIZES FOR POETRY 2014

To be awarded at London's Southbank Centre on September 30th

The Forward Prizes for Poetry are among the most coveted annual poetry prizes in Britain and the Republic of Ireland.

They were first awarded in 1992: past winners include Thom Gunn, Seamus Heaney, Alice Oswald, Ted Hughes,

Carol Ann Duffy and Kathleen Jamie.

The three prizes are unusual in honouring the work of established poets (Best Collection £10,000) alongside newcomers

(Best First Collection £5,000). The Best Single Poem award (£1,000) is a prize for which only award-winning poems and

published works not yet collected in book form are eligible.

All works entered for The Forward Prizes for Poetry will also be considered for inclusion in The Forward Book of Poetry,

an anthology of the year's best poetry, as chosen by the Prizes' judges.

Category A: The Forward Prize for Best Collection, £10,000

Category B: The Felix Dennis Prize for Best First Collection, £5,000

Category C: The Forward Prize for Best Single Poem, £1,000
