We couldn’t be happier to announce the winners of this year’s Foster Poetry Prize, as selected by judge Hannah Green!
Huge congratulations go to Andrea Scott, whose poem “Scar Tissue” was awarded first place and the grand prize of $1000, and to Van Osborne Zimrose, Jade Palmer, and Shelby Satterthwaite, whose poems “reasons to believe in reincarnation,” “Dining Room Tabletop Before the Sunday Clean,” and “Kitty Kitty Womp” were awarded second and third place, and honourable mention, respectively, and each of whom will receive a cash prize.
We know you’re tantalized by these incredible titles, so don’t worry – you won’t have to wait too long to read these winning poems! All four of the winning poems will appear in our Spring 2025 issue.
A huge thank you to Hannah for being our judge, and to everyone who submitted to the contest – we hope you’ll submit again to this year’s contest, which opens in June.
