We aim for 90 days from submission but sometimes it can be longer if you submit early and your poem makes it to the final round of consideration, since acceptances tend not to go out until after the submission window closes, thus we say it can take up to 6 months. Our shortest turnaround is 30 days.

Would love to read your poems for 2025’s @oxfordpoetry.bsky.social prize! Looking forward to it.
