The APBF administers two poetry book prizes annually, the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poetry, which awards $1000 and publication through the University of Nebraska Press to the winning manuscript by an African poet who has not yet published a full-length collection, and the Glenna Luschei Prize for African Poetry, which awards $1000 to the author of an excellent book of African poetry published in the previous calendar year, selected by a guest judge. We also work in collaboration with Brunel University to promote the Brunel International African Poetry Prize.
