We sponsor the Forward Poetry Prizes as part of National Poetry Day, an annual celebration of poetry. Now in its nineteenth year, prizes are awarded for Best Collection, Best Single Poem and Best First Collection and the short listed poems are published in an anthology each year.
National Poetry Day is the brainchild of William Sieghart of The Forward Arts Foundation to fuel the nation’s enthusiasm for poetry. It’s a licence to be poetic for the day. Now in its seventeenth year, we hope you will join us in the celebration. Please click here for further information and to find out what events are happening in your area.
Launched in 2002, The Big Arts Week is an exciting new initiative to inspire the next generation of British artists. During the week a wide range of professional artists visit their local schools to work with pupils on a creative project.
