The prize, run by international art and literature magazine The Moth, is open to anyone over 16 as long as their poem is previously unpublished.  It attracts thousands of entries each year, from new and established poets in over 50 countries worldwide.

Natalya won the 10,000€ prize for her poem 'A Gun in the House', after being named as one of the four finalists in 2015, and winning the 2014 Bridport Prize.
