We’re happy to announce the composition of the jury for the third edition of the Johan Polak Poetry Prize! In 2026, five prominent voices from the Dutch-language literary scene will review the poetry collections that are sent in for the prize.
The jury consists of Mirjam van Hengel (chair), Sigrid Bousset, Radna Fabias, Wim van Til and Nadia de Vries. Together, they will take on the task of reading all the Dutch-language poetry collections that were published in The Netherlands and Flanders between 2023 and 2025. The winner of the prize will be announced subsequently in 2026. The festive award ceremony will take place on Sunday, June 7th, 2026, during the Poetry International Festival.
