Since it was established in 1978 by the Poetry Society, the National Poetry Competition has become the biggest and most prestigious poetry competition of its kind. Its popularity spans the globe, with entries received from all around the world. All entries are judged anonymously and past winners include both published and previously unknown poets.

Last year's winner, Mike Barlow, commented on how it had helped develop his writing career: 'being a National winner must raise awareness of your name and increase your chances of being considered seriously.'
