A POETIC PROPOSAL – REIMAGINE. REVITALISE. RECLAIM. – YOUR FESTIVAL
Calling all poets, performers, and workshop leaders! The Perth Poetry Festival 2025 is inviting Expressions of Interest (EOI) for an extraordinary celebration of poetry, performance, and artistic collaboration. This is your moment to bring your unique voice and vision to the forefront. Whether you practise traditional forms, command the stage with spoken word, or push creative boundaries through cross-arts, multimedia, or experimental performance, we want to hear from you.
The festival isn’t just a showcase — it’s a platform for fresh ideas, dynamic voices, and bold expressions. We’re looking for artists ready to challenge, inspire, and move audiences with work that is as unforgettable as it is unmissable. By submitting an EOI, you’re taking an active role in shaping a festival that’s as inclusive, diverse, and innovative as the art form itself.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of this transformative journey. Submit your EOI today and help shape the next chapter of the Perth Poetry Festival!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST AND YOUR SUBMISSIONS
We’ve been flooded with EOIs from WA, across the country, and internationally. It’s been genuinely heartening (and a little overwhelming) to see such an incredible breadth of ideas, talent, and poetic energy pouring in.
The WA Poets Committee is still carefully and thoughtfully working through the submissions, and it’s taking a little longer than expected. As a volunteer-run committee, we may be slow, but we will get back to everyone.
️Timeline update:
· Interstate + international applicants: we’ll be in touch by the end of April
· WA-based applicants: expect to hear from us by mid-May
If you have any questions about your application, you’re welcome to contact us at web@wapoets.com.
