To celebrate the tenth anniversary issue of Cha and to mark the twentieth anniversary of Hong Kong’s handover, the Cha International Poetry Prize 2017, in collaboration with PEN Hong Kong, seeks your submissions.

The competition is open to ALL poets. Thanks to several generous sponsors from the Asia-Pacific region, including the NINJA! Arts Grant, we are able to offer a total prize money of US$3201 (First Prize US$1501; Second Prize US$800; Third Prize US$400 and five Commended Prizes, each US$100). All eight winning poems will be published in the tenth anniversary issue of Cha, due out in late December 2017. There is no entry fee.
