The Silesius Poetry Award (Polish: Wrocławska Nagroda Poetycka Silesius) is an annual Polish literary prize established in 2008 in Wrocław. The award is presented during the Port Literacki Wrocław Festival and takes its name from a prominent Silesian Baroque poet Angelus Silesius. The award was created at the initiative of Jarosław Broda, head of the Wroclaw Department of Culture, and is funded by the city of Wrocław. It is awarded in three major categories: lifetime achievement, best debut and book of the year and the laureates receive cash prizes of PLN 100,000 (c.$25,000), PLN 50,000 and PLN 20,000 respectively.
