History
Poetica Christi Press runs the Poetica Christi Press Annual Poetry Competition from 1 August till 31 October every year on a given topic. The entries are given to the judge who selects a winner and a runner-up, as well as another twenty-three entries to go into an anthology to be published the following year. Some of Poetica Christi's past anthologies have been commended in the FAW awards, and its 2009 bestselling coffee-table book Reflecting on Melbourne, which included colour photography and artwork alongside poetry, was shortlisted for the 2010 Caleb Prize.
