The Transforming Words Foundation runs the Black in White Poetry Competition to provide a platform for sharing poetry and raising awareness of racism in workplace and childhood settings. The competition was established in 2021 by Charlotte Shyllon - who was inspired to write her poetry collection, Black in White, following the killing of George Floyd - and invites submissions from people of colour and allies to share their own experiences and observations. Winning and highly commended entries are published annually in anthologies during Black History Month. The sixth book in the series, White face, foreign hands, features poems from the 2025 competition and is named after the workplace category's winning entry, written by Dennis Johnstone.
