The competition is open to anyone, including
non-UK residents, except Magma Poetry Board members and their families.
Poems may be on any subject and must be in English and your own original work. They must not have been published, self-published or accepted for publication in print or online, broadcast, or have won or been placed in another competition at any time.
The Magma 2018/9 poetry competition is now open for entries in both categories
Award-winning poet Andrew McMillan is the judge for the Judges Prize for poems of 11 to 50 lines and he will be reading all entries there are no sifters.
The Editors Prize is judged by a panel of five Magma Editors and is for poems of up to 10 lines. The prize money for both competitions is the same, so double your chances and try your luck at both.
The entry fees are GBP 5 for the first poem, GBP 4 for the second and GBP 3.50 for the third and each subsequent poem. Magma magazine subscribers benefit from reduced fees: GBP 4 for the first poem, GBP 3 for the second, and GBP 2.50 for the third and each subsequent poem.
First prize for the Judges and Editors Prize is GBP 1000, second prize GBP 300 and third prize GBP 150. The six prize-winning poems will be published in Magma and there will also be five special mentions for the Judges Prize and for the Editors Prize. Winning and commended poets will be invited to read their poems at a Magma Competition Event in Spring 2019.
