The Michael Marks Awards for Poetry Pamphlets were established in 2009 to promote the pamphlet form and to enable poets and publishers to develop. Since then, they have grown to include four awards, for ‘Poetry Pamphlet’, ‘Publisher’, ‘Illustration’ and ‘Poetry Pamphlet in a Celtic Language’, carrying prizes of up to £5,000, and awarding places on ‘The Michael Marks Poets in Residence Program’ in Greece.

The Michael Marks Awards for Poetry Pamphlets 2020 are open for submissions as usual until September 30th. The winners will be announced at an event on December 14th 2020. This will be a virtual event if necessary.
