Forward-díj

A Forward-díj (Forward Prizes for Poetry) egy irodalmi díj az Egyesült Királyságban, melyet 1991-ben alapítottak azzal a szándékkal, hogy a kortárs költészet iránti érdeklődést előmozdítsák. Jelenleg ez a királyság legjelentősebb költészetért járó irodalmi megbecsülése, melyért a legjobb verseskötetnek 10 000£, a legjobb első verseskötetnek 5000£ és a legszebb versnek 1000£ a jutalma. A legkiemelkedőbb költeményeket a The Forward Book of Poetry című antológiában adják ki minden évben.
