Competitions

Competitions at Poem Stellium are curated, one-off opportunities centred around different themes, ideas, and moments throughout the year.

These are not ongoing submissions.

Each competition is its own space, with its own focus.

Themes may vary depending on the call, including areas such as identity, culture, creativity, community, and other topics explored through poetry.

Competitions may appear at different points in the year, and sometimes may run back-to-back.

Each one will have its own guidelines, so it is important to read all details carefully before submitting.
