Electronic submission of manuscripts for the Tómas Guðmundsson Literary Awards is now open.

The Tómas Guðmundsson Literary Awards are presented annually in memory of the poet Tómas Guðmundsson for an unpublished poetry manuscript. Online manuscript submissions for 2025 are now open and will be accepted until May 1, 2025..

The shift to electronic submissions marks an important step toward enhanced safety, efficiency and environmental sustainability, replacing the previous requirement for triplicate paper copies.

A three-member selection committee reads all submitted manuscripts and selects the award recipient. The Reykjavík UNESCO City of Literature office administers the awards.
