Poetry Journal Call for Submissions - Commonwealth Foundation

Eligibility: Anyone can make a submission, but the entry must be themed around an ‘African experience’ We believe anyone can have an African experience.
This is a one-time submission form, so you cannot return to edit it or re-submit a different form.
We are ONLY accepting poetry for our second issue, which will be published in 2025.
The maximum number of poems you can submit is 2, uploaded in a single Microsoft Word document.
You MUST include your brief biography of no more than 300 words in the document alongside your submission. Please keep your biography simple and factual. Please refrain from using self-aggrandising or puffery language.
We generally do not discriminate against work that has been published elsewhere. If we love it, we’ll publish it, but let us know where and when it was published while you make your submission.
If your submission is selected for publishing, you will be notified by email.

Enquiries about submissions should be directed to Poetry Journal. Please always refer to their website for complete details and information.

Please note, this call is run by Poetry Journal not the Commonwealth Foundation.
