Шаблон:Short description Brunel International African Poetry Prize is a literary award aimed at the "development, celebration and promotion of poetry from Africa."[1][2] The prize is sponsored by Brunel University and Bernardine Evaristo. In the past it has been partnered by Commonwealth Writers and the African Poetry Book Fund USA.[1] It comes with a £3,000 honorarium.[1] It is aimed at unpublished poets with a manuscript of ten poems.[3]

The prize was founded by British-Nigerian writer Bernardine Evaristo in part to help introduce African poets to readers outside of Africa, saying: "It became clear to me that poetry from the continent could also do with a prize to draw attention to it and to encourage a new generation of poets who might one day become an international presence."[4] She has managed the prize since 2011.
