This year our annual poetry award event will take place on 28 February at 7pm in the Great Western Studios 65 Alfred Road W2 5EU.

This year there are 17 nominated poets, 11 English and 6 Dutch, and all the poems will be read at the event.

The judges, Donald Gardner and Norbert Hirschhorn, will explain how they came to their decision and you will have the opportunity to meet and chat to the shortlisted poets and the judges.

Arnold Jansen op de Haar, advisor on Dutch literature, and the publisher are also looking forward to meet readers and friends of the shortlisted poets.

The publisher is making an announcement

We hope you can join us to celebrate the largest Anglo-Dutch poetry competition.

The event is free and drinks and light refreshments are served.

It’s not a ticketed event, but we expect it to be busy, so please reserve places by emailing the publisher.
