The Dead Cat Poetry Prize The Dead Cat Poetry Prize is a poetry competition de(a)dicat(t)ed to the world's best poetry about felines that have shuffled off their nine mortal coils. The first prize was awarded in 2021.

We've recently opened for submissions again... deadcatpoems.com

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who's donated at ko-fi.com/deadcatpoems, since we took the leap and made entry pay-what-you-decide this year.

Yesterday we hit a fundraising target which means that the next two year's prize funds will be at least as generous.

This year's prize closes to new entries at midnight tonight!

Good luck one and all.

Still time to enter if it's still October in Catford: www.deadcatpoems.com
