  The Chinese Young Poet Award was established in 2003 and is selected once a year. It has become a guidepost for young poetry writers.

The editorial committee of "Poetry Exploration", the organizer of the Chinese Young Poet Award, insists on selecting one prize, holding a symposium on winning poets, publishing an anthology of poems by winning poets, and recommending a winning poet to the "Four Ones" of Capital Normal University. Ways to make this poetry award rich and three-dimensional.

The continuous attention and support to the award-winning poets gave them unique authority and durability, and became an important award to encourage young poets to persist in creation.

  Founded in 1980, "Poetry Exploration" is the first research publication of Chinese new poems that combines poetry theory and poetry writing.

Xie Mian, a well-known poetry critic, director of the editorial committee of "Poetry Exploration", and director of the jury of the Chinese Young Poets Award, has high hopes for young poets, hoping that they will make achievements in inheriting poetry art, describing current life, and creating fine works.
