Keats-Shelley Prizes 2022 - Shortlists
The Keats-Shelley Memorial Association is pleased to announce the shortlists for 2022’s Keats-Shelley Poetry and Essay Prizes. There are two competitions: the Keats-Shelley Prize, which is open to everyone, and the Young Romantics, which is aimed at writers aged between 16-18.

The winners and runners-up will be announced by the poet and biographer Fiona Sampson later in September via our website, social media and YouTube channel. Further details will follow soon.
• Listen to Fiona Sampson read Shelley’s Hymn to Intellectual Beauty on the Keats-Shelley Podcast.
The Shortlists were chosen by our two Judging Panels. The finalists were chosen by our brilliant panel of Judges: Professor Deryn Rees-Jones and Will Kemp for the Poetry Prize; Professor Sharon Ruston and Professor Simon Bainbridge for the Essay Prize. Enormous thanks to both for all their hard work and expertise.
