An international jury of prominent poets will select fifty poems for inclusion in The Global Poetry Anthology 2020, to be published by Véhicule Press. From these fifty finalists, the winning poem will be selected by this year’s distinguished judge, Yusef Komunyakaa.
The Montreal International Poetry Prize was founded in 2011 by Asa Boxer and was supported in its formative years by the late Leonard Cohen. Four competitions have taken place since 2011. In 2019, management of the Montreal Prize was transferred to the Department of English at McGill University, in recognition of the university’s long-standing commitment to encouraging poetry.
