Liquid Amber Poetry Prize 2023

The Liquid Amber Poetry Prize is back, bigger and better than ever.
First prize is $1000 and second prize $500. An Emerging Poet will win an editing pack with Liquid Amber. Poems on the long list will be published in our annual Anthology. Whoohoo!

This year’s theme is ‘Home’. What place or experiences evoke ‘home’ for you?

What are the textures, colours or relationships that you associate with home? What paths lead to home and how do we find them? What might it mean to find or reclaim home on stolen Country?

Check out our provocations and make a poetic response to the idea of home, in whatever ways your imagination takes you. We’re looking forward to reading your poems!

Entry form and info here: https://liquidamberpress.com.au/2023/01/24/2023-poetry-prize-home/

Open now until 1st May
