CALL FOR POETRY AND SPOKEN WORD BY COMMONWEALTH FOUNDATION.

 Are you an aspiring poet exploring spoken word performance? Are you an established writer experimenting with new ways to engage your audiences?

We are launching a new call for submissions on adda which will explore poetry in its many forms and traditions.

 

We are inviting submissions of written poetry, and, for the first time, video recordings of spoken-word poetry. Successful entrants will see their work published on adda online magazine and will be paid a fee. 

SUBMIT YOUR ENTRY BY 22 OCTOBER

We strongly encourage the submission of poetry in other mother-tongues but ask that these submissions include English subtitles or are accompanied by an English translation in a text document.  Please read the Submission guidelines for further details.

 

Remember that the deadline for this call is 22 October 2023 at 23:59 in your time zone.

 

We will contact successful entrants by February 2024. Up to 24 pieces will be selected by a team of poets and spoken word artists and published over the year. You will be paid a fee if your work is accepted for publication.

 

Thank you for sharing your poetry. We look forward to reading and watching your entries.
