The Caterpillar Poetry Prize

Event Details

The contest is organized by The Caterpillar, a print magazine for children featuring poetry, short stories and art. The competition is open to anyone over the age of 16.

The prize is for an unpublished poem written by an adult for children aged 7–11.

The poem can be on any subject. There is no line limit.

Entries must be in English.

We are keen to encourage quality submissions, so suggest writers to check their stories before submitting using Prowritingaid. They have free and paid versions and are the best writing software we know to help improve grammar, readability and check for repetition, ‘sticky’ sentences and suggest alternatives.
