The Poetry Now Award is an annual literary prize presented for the best single volume of poetry by an Irish poet. The €5000 award was first given in 2005 (reduced to €2500 in 2013) and is presented during annual Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown poetry festivals. From 2005 to 2011 it was bestowed during the Poetry Now international poetry festival (the latter event was inaugurated in 1996) which was held in March or April each year.
