The deadline for the largest traditional poetry contest in the English-speaking world is just a month away—Dec. 31, 2024.

Every year, the Society of Classical Poets (SCP) sponsors the International Poetry Competition, giving novices and seasoned poets a chance at a prize and at having their poetry published online.

What Is the Society of Classical Poets?

Founded in 2012 by Evan Mantyk and Joshua Philipp, the SCP has a lofty mission: “to preserve humankind’s artistic traditions” by building on 1,400 years of English poetry and promoting the work of good poets within that tradition by publishing and supporting their work.
