The Moth International Poetry Prize (formerly the Ballymaloe International Poetry Prize) was established in 2011. €10,000 is awarded for a single unpublished poem, with three runner-up prizes of €1,000. The contest is open to anyone (over 16), as long as the poem is previously unpublished, and each year it attracts thousands of entries from new and established poets from over 50 countries.[4] [5] The prize is judged anonymously by a single poet. Previous judges include Nick Laird, Claudia Rankine, Jacob Polley, Matthew Sweeney, Leontia Flynn, Marie Howe, Michael Symmons Roberts, Billy Collins, Deborah Landau and Daljit Nagra.[6]

The Moth Short Story Prize is an international prize, open to anyone from anywhere in the world, as long as their story is original and previously unpublished. The winners are chosen by a single judge each year, who reads the stories anonymously.

Previous judges include Mike McCormack, Belinda McKeon, Donal Ryan, Kit de Waal, Kevin Barry and Mark Haddon. The judge for 2021 is Ali Smith.[7]

The Moth Nature Writing Prize was established in 2020, and the inaugural prize was judged by Richard Mabey. The judge for 2021 is Helen Macdonald.[8]
