"Here you can see that there's no age in poetry, there's no race in poetry, all you have is poetry and words." The annual Spier Poetry Festival invites poets to gather in Cape Town, South Africa, for a week of exploring poetry, drinking wine, and dancing.
Find details about every creative writing competition—including poetry contests, short story competitions, essay contests, awards for novels, grants for translators, and more—that we’ve published in the Grants & Awards section of Poets & Writers Magazine during the past year. We carefully review the practices and policies of each contest before including it in the Writing Contests database, the most trusted resource for legitimate writing contests available anywhere.
