The RATP Grand Prix de Poésie 2025 is back - get your poems in!

Want to see your poems on the metro? RATP is once again offering poster space in the metro with its Grand Prix de Poésie de la RATP, from March 12 to April 15, 2025. From the age of 3, budding poets can let their prose express itself in very short texts, and up to 14 lines. Every year since 2014, nearly 12,000 amateur poets have logged on to the Grand Prix Poésie RATP website to share their pen.

There are three different age categories: Children for under 12s, Youth for under 18s and Adults for over 18s. Once again, Internet users will be able to vote for their favorite text, from the beginning of April, for the Grand Prix Voyageurs. 11 winners will have the honor of seeing their text displayed in the metro during the two months of summer, to be read by millions of travelers.

The prizes include cultural gift vouchers and a subscription to a Bayard magazine for the youngest, and a weekend for two in a European city for the adults! Now in its 11th year, the prize is presided over by playwright Alexis Michalik, accompanied by a jury of arts and culture professionals.

The theme is always free, whether it's poetry of the everyday, lyrical, committed or funny, let your creativity work! So get to your pens!
