The TS Eliot Prize

The TS Eliot Prize is a prestigious annual award given for the best collection of new poetry published in the UK or Ireland. Established in 1993 in honor of the poet T.S. Eliot, the prize not only recognizes exceptional literary talent but also aims to promote contemporary poetry. Administered by the Poetry Book Society, the award often attracts notable poets and jurors and includes a significant monetary prize. The winner is announced in January each year, coinciding with a ceremony that celebrates both the shortlisted poets and the rich landscape of modern poetry.
