The Banyan Review offers the Poetry Prize annually for a single poem.

We seek well-crafted poetry on any topic. We are open to all aesthetics and publish works written in English. Poems must be unpublished and should not have appeared in any print or electronic format including personal social media. Any AI generated work is not eligible for submission. 

Please send up to five (5) unpublished poems in one single file (docx). 

We only accept digital submissions through Submittable and do not accept submissions through email. Translations are not accepted for this prize.

We encourage simultaneous submissions. Please notify us if your work is accepted elsewhere and remove your work from our queue.
