The New Zealand Poetry Society competition 2024

Student competitions and scholarships New Zealand (nationwide)

Posted: 18 March 2024
Notice reference #: 1HAfnD

Our popular annual competition opens March 15, 2024, and we have two categories for young poets (17 years and younger): Open Junior and Haiku Junior. 

The Open Junior category calls for poetry inspired by works of visual art such as painting, sculpture or photographs. We have prepared a comprehensive Teacher's Resource to help students write poetry inspired by visual art.

The Haiku Junior category has no theme. We also have a handy guide to writing haiku.

Both FREE resources are available on our website.
