Student Poetry Competition 2025: Entries are now open!
Calling all young poets – Independent Schools Victoria’s Student Poetry Competition is back for 2025 and young people from across Victoria are invited to express themselves in our annual celebration of poetic creativity.
Students can enter a written poem or make a video of themselves speaking or performing their words, bringing energy and conviction to their work.
Poets can choose their own topic or explore our optional theme of Gratitude. Gratitude can be seen as a simple yet powerful emotion that signifies feeling thankful and appreciative for the positive and beneficial things in one’s life. It is about acknowledging and appreciating the kindness, help or positive experiences you have received from others or from life itself. The amazing thing about gratitude is that it can lift your mood, intensify relationships and boost your total wellbeing.
