audition for iamb

Auditions for places in iamb

during 2026/27 are now closed.

​

Thank you to all 160+ poets who auditioned this year.

The standard of writing and reading was impeccably high.

It's truly regrettable that some of you won't secure a place simply because of the fixed number of slots available.

​

When will you know if you're in?

​

If you don't get an acceptance email

(or an offer to join the reserves list) by Nov 30th 2025,

better luck next time.

​​​

See you in 2027!

​

Come back to this page on Sep 1st 2027 to see how you can submit your audition next time around. There'll be more than 115 places available across eight waves spanning 2028/29.
