Overton Poetry Prize
Win the chance to have your work published
In memory of Professor Bill Overton (1946-2012), the School of Social Sciences and Humanities is delighted to offer this prize for a sequence of poems up to 300 lines in length of any subject.
Much of Bill’s teaching and writing was on poetry, and the proceeds from this competition fund an early-career poet in residence for Loughborough University. We hope that this poetry prize, set up in Bill’s memory, will contribute to the creative life of the School of Social Sciences and Humanities and the experience of our students.
The Prize
The first-placed entry will be published in chapbook form.
There is a cost of £12.50 per entry. Proceeds from the competition entry fees will go towards funding an early-career poet in residence at the University.
