Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
A short application, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] previously unpublished speculative poems, in English
[ ] no work written with AI, at most six poems in one submission

2. WHAT TO GET READY
It asks for something outside the usual documents; read it below.
In their words: "up to six previously unpublished poems"

3. DATES
- No closing date is stated.
- Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. (our advice)
- On the date, the listing says: the poetry department reads all year.

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
