Breaking the Rules: A Young Poets Network Poetry Challenge with the Estorick Collection

Closing date: Mon 28 Apr 2025

The Young Poets Network is offering a poetry writing challenge for writers aged up to 25 based anywhere in the world.

In collaboration with the Esoterick Collection, the YPN is looking for poems that innovate and push the boundaries of poetry, poems that break a rule in some way. This could mean using a well-known form, such as the sonnet or the ghazal, and breaking its rules to make way for the poem.

Winners will be published on Young Poets Network and will receive poetry ebooks, book tokens, and posters.
