The Awards Ceremony was held in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse on 5 October and involved a reception with poetry activities followed by readings from the judges and the 15 winners. All the top 100 received a goodie bag and a certificate.

"I greatly enjoyed getting to meet other young poets and the judges, and being able to discuss our writing and reading of poetry. It was very exciting to get to visit the Playhouse and experience the history and beauty of the building while being in a special environment with so many people who had the same passions."
