UniSQ 2025 Bruce Dawe Poetry Prize

Welcome to the official registration site for the UniSQ 2025 Bruce Dawe National Poetry Prize!

This prestigious competition offers a unique opportunity for poets across the nation to showcase their talents and vie for a grand prize of $3,000. Whether you're a seasoned poet or a budding writer, this is your chance to express yourself.

As an Australian poet, your contribution shapes our culture.

None believed this more so than the late Emeritus Professor Bruce Dawe AO, one of Australia’s most acclaimed contemporary poets.
Professor Dawe believed that universities should support the study of literature and promote the Arts in Australian society. His passion was turned to action when he chose to sponsor this prominent literary prize.
