About this opportunity

The Ford Memorial Prize is an annual poetry competition open to undergraduate students at The University of Queensland. Founded in 1916 by a gift of $200 from the Queensland United Licensed Victuallers' Association, the prize honors Lieutenant S. K. Ford and Corporal T. W. Ford, brothers who both lost their lives in the defence of the Empire. The prize is awarded to the best poem as determined by prize examiners, with at least $500 awarded to the winner. This competition provides undergraduate students an opportunity to showcase their creative writing talents in poetry and receive recognition for creative excellence.
