The Stephen Spender Prize is an annual competition for poetry in translation that celebrates the creativity of young people across the UK and Ireland – and their teachers!
The Prize has categories for schools, teachers and individual young people, which welcome translations from all languages, as well as a special ‘Spotlight‘ strand that each year focuses on a different widely spoken language. Our Spotlight language for 2026 is Polish.
The Stephen Spender Prize 2026 will launch on 1 May but teachers can find out more and register now on the website.
The deadline for entries is 31 July 2026.
