Can children enter The Plough Prize?
There is no age limit for entrants, and a good poem’s a good poem, whatever the age of the poet – however, younger children are obviously at a disadvantage when competing against experienced adult poets. We are hoping to add a free-to-enter competition for children in future years. If you know of anyone who might be interested in sponsoring such a competition, please get in touch! Critiques are available for all entrants, no matter what their age. If you are a younger poet, please tell us so when you request your critique and we will take this into account.
