The 2015 BN Poetry Award is open for entries. Founded in 2008, the BN Poetry Award was initially set-up to provide a platform for women poets in Uganda. In 2013, it extended its remit to include all African poets living anywhere in the world, male and female – writers either born on the continent, citizens of an African country or with either one or both parents that are African citizens.

To enter, writers need to submit between 1 and 3 unpublished and original poems in English with a maximum combine length of 40 lines. Deadliine is 15th May 2015. For more details: http://bookconvo.com/2015-bn-poetry-award/
