The international jury [below] of ten distinguished poets from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and the Americas will select the top 50 entries. This shortlist will be published in the ground-breaking Global Poetry Anthology. From this anthology Andrew Motion will select the winner of the 2011 prize.
