Tower Poetry Competition 2024


 The 24th Christopher Tower Poetry Competition will run from October 2023 to February 2024, with students between 16-18 years of age challenged to write a poem on the theme ‘Mirror.’

This year’s judges are Will Harris, Jane Yeh and Mishtooni Bose. 

About the Tower Poetry Competition 2024

The Tower Poetry Competition offers the UK’s most valuable prize for young poets. The competition is free to enter and it is open to students between 16-18 years of age who are educated in the UK. 

The competition is judged anonymously by two guest judges, who are different each year, and the Christopher Tower Student. Each year the theme is chosen with the intention of giving entrants free rein to interpret it as widely as they like.

The Christopher Tower Poetry Prizes recently reached new heights with a newly increased first prize and a full set of awards worth more than £14000. 

This year, the poet who writes the best single poem on the theme of ‘Mirror’ receives £5000. There will be a second prize of £3000, and a third prize of £1500. Along with these, there will be ten runners up, who will each receive £500.

Where do I start?

Looking for some inspiration? The Christopher Tower Poetry Competition has been running for over two decades, and in that time has rewarded over 120 young winners and their poems. Take a look at entries by past winners on the 'Previous Competitions' page.
