The Montreal International Poetry Prize is committed to encouraging the creation of original works of poetry, to building cross-national readership and to exploring the world’s Englishes. The prize is a non-profit organization comprised of an advisory board, an editorial board, a prize judge, directors and interns. The editors and prize judge are chosen anew each year. The staff is comprised of poetry lovers with diverse backgrounds who want to get poets together from all over the world in the spirit of fun and competition, to consider the various Englishes of the world and to think of poetry in global terms.
