African Poetry Book Fund

A prize of $1,000 is given annually for a book of poetry by an African poet published in the previous year. Writers who were born in Africa, who are nationals or residents of an African country, or whose parents are African are eligible. Aracelis Girmay will judge. Publishers may submit four copies (or unbound proofs) of a poetry collection of at least 48 pages published in 2023 by October 1. There is no entry fee.
