We are delighted to announce that Ahana B in Year 13 has been named as one of the Top 15 winners of The Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award 2021.
Run by The Poetry Society with the support of the Foyle Foundation, this is the 23rd year for the Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award which, since 1998, has been finding, celebrating and supporting the very best young poets from around the world. The award is now firmly established as a leading competition for young poets aged between 11 and 17 years old.
This year there were 14,408 poems entered by 6,775 young people from 109 countries as far afield as Argentina, Egypt, Kenya, South Korea and the Seychelles, and every corner of the UK making Ahana’s achievement even more impressive.
