As part of commemorative events to mark 200 years since the death of Trinity’s most celebrated poet, Trinity College is offering up to three prizes worth £250 each for writing in verse or prose inspired or provoked by Byron.

The competition is open to all current Cambridge undergraduate and postgraduate students. Poems must not be more than 40 lines in total; prose no more than 400 words.

Entries must be submitted by 12 noon on Monday 1 April via the following: https://app.casc.cam.ac.uk/fas_live/trinbyron/

They will be anonymised for the purposes of the competition. Successful applicants will be informed by Friday 12 April and invited to read their work at the closing session of the ‘Byron Now’ commemoration on Saturday 20 April, in Trinity’s Antechapel, alongside a number of established poets who will also be reading original work.
