In partnership with the Nature, Art & Habitat Residency (NAHR), Australian Poetry is pleased to announce an exciting new opportunity available exclusively to Australian Poetry subscribers – the inaugural NAHR Eco-Poetry Award (July 2017). This prize is to be conferred to a single Australian poet currently subscribed to Australian Poetry who is able to take up residency (alone, or with a companion) in the village of Sottochiesa, Taleggio Valley, northern Italy over the month of July 2017.
All residency fees are waived, however it remains the responsibility of the winner to make their own way to and from Taleggio.
Set in northern Italy and situated in the heart of the Orobie Alps, the NAHR program offers a lively space to think and create, collaborate and interact. Our residents take full advantage of the surrounding natural landscapes as well as Italy’s rich material culture, which combines vernacular traditions with innovative approaches to space and place, people and their communities.
Further information on the NAHR program can be obtained here.
Alongside a project proposal outlining creative activities to be undertaken during the month’s residency in Taleggio (no more than one page), those interested in applying for this award are requested to submit a folio of up to five poems (no more than 200 lines in total) relating to habitat, ecology, biodiversity, space and place, the Anthropocene, culture and identity.
Please note, in order to apply for the residency, applicants must be current subscribers to Australian Poetry. If you are not currently a subscriber, the easiest way to subscribe is online.
To apply, please complete an application form and submit (alongside your folio of work and a project proposal) by Friday 10th February 2016.
Find the form here: APPLICATION FORM
The award will be announced by Friday 17th March, and results are to be published on the Australian Poetry website and newsletter.
