The Alpine Fellowship Poetry Prize 2022: (Deadline 1 April 2022)
Details
Anyone aged 18 and above is invited to apply for the Alpine Fellowship Poetry Prize. You may submit one poem or a collection of poems as long as ALL the poems in the collection speak to the theme.
Prize
The winner will receive a £3,000 cash prize as well as an invitation to the Alpine symposium.
Runners up will get an invitation to attend the symposium as well as travel expenses up to a total of £500. All food and accommodation will also be covered.
Theme
The theme of the competition is Freedom. Alpine Fellowship is interested in the following questions:
What types of freedom are there?
- Are we political beings whose freedom is actualized together in a world shared with others?
- What does it mean to be personally free? Is subjecting personal freedom to obligation necessary and helpful?
- Is there a notion of freedom accessible beyond worldly constraints? Can inner freedom be developed by relating to one’s own experience in new ways?
- What role does language have in shaping freedom?
If we accept freedom as a worldly and political imperative, how can we actualize freedom in the following areas?
- Freedom of expression
- Big tech and AI
- Academia
- Public health and government mandates
- Human rights
What is artistic freedom and is it special in any way?
- What social role do artists have in supporting and actualizing freedom?
- Does the threat of public opprobrium have a limiting effect on artistic expression?
- How could the notion of “a Zeitgeist” inform the discussion on freedom?
