From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Edwin Morgan Poetry Award Award is a Scottish poetry prize awarded biennially for the best unpublished poetry collection by a Scottish poet under the age of 30. The £20,000 prize is one of the largest in the UK and is administered by the Edwin Morgan Trust.
