Poetry Festival Singapore is a society funded by the National Arts Council which offers a multilingual, multicultural, and multi-generational platform for poets and poetry enthusiasts in the appreciation of the art of poetry in Singapore. Poetry Festival Singapore also aims to develop the written and spoken word in the island’s four official languages and to organize events and activities related to the literary arts.

Poetry Festival Singapore is currently having an Open Call for papers for the 2nd Singapore Literature Conference. The theme of the symposium is “Metamorphosis of Singapore.” They are interested in papers that explore the theme in poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, or drama over time from a wide range of perspectives and disciplines, and welcome papers in English, Chinese, Malay, or Tamil.
