About the Jane Martin Poetry Prize
The National Jane Martin Prize for Poetry was established in 2011 and is open annually to young poets, aged between 18-30 years who are resident in the UK.
The Prize is named in memory of Jane Martin. Jane studied Classics at Girton, graduating in 1981. She retained an affection for the College and felt strong bonds with those who had taught and supported her. Jane had always taken great pleasure in writing. On her passing, her father chose to endow a national prize based at Girton for outstanding poetry, to be named after her.
The competition is judged by experts drawn from across the literary world and academia.
