Never Such Innocence (NSI) invites young people from around the world to participate in the 2024/25 Poetry Competition, a part of the ongoing programme "Conversations on Conflict." This year, the competition asks a vital question: How Can We Prevent Future Wars?
Young poets are encouraged to reflect on this theme, drawing on history, their personal experiences, and their hopes for the future. Poetry has long been a way for people to process and share their thoughts on conflict, and NSI invites participants to use the power of words to inspire change.
Key Competition Details:
- Theme: How Can We Prevent Future Wars?
- Age Categories:
- Age 9-11
- Age 11-14
- Age 14-16

The age crossover ensures children in the same school year can compete fairly. Categorisation is at NSI’s discretion based on information provided in the entry form.

Submission Guidelines:
