The Adroit Prizes for Poetry & Prose

A respected literary prize that reads student work seriously — poetry or prose, judged by real writers.

  • Humanities & Social Sciences
  • Arts & Design
Who can enter
Secondary and undergraduate students worldwide — fee waivers available
What it costs
Submitting carries a fee — check the current amount on the prize page, we could not confirm it. The journal waives it for students for whom it is a barrier, but you have to write and ask.
When it closes
We could not confirm this year's date against the organiser's own page, so we are not showing a countdown for it. Last published: Submissions open in the spring each year.

Sending this to someone sends the four facts above, not just a name — they will see who can enter and what it costs before they decide.
