Tower Poetry is an organisation affiliated with Christ Church, Oxford that aims to promote the reading and writing of poetry in young people. The group is funded by a donation from the late Christopher Tower, and run by Oxford University lecturer, Dr Anna Nickerson.

Tower Poetry runs the annual Christopher Tower Poetry Prizes (also known as the Tower Poetry Competition) and the biennial Tower Poetry Summer School, a residential course for 18- to 23-year-olds, held at Christ Church.^[1]

The Christopher Tower Poetry Prizes are annual prizes awarded to young poets in education in the United Kingdom between the ages of 16 and 18, for poems submitted on a set theme. The prizes are administered by Christ Church, Oxford, and are funded by a bequest by the late Christopher Tower. Since their launch in 2000, the prizes have become recognised as one of the United Kingdom's most prestigious poetry awards for young writers.^[2] Several past winners and runners-up have gone on to win other major poetry competitions, such as the Eric Gregory Award, and to publish collections.
