You have ONE
MONTH left to enter our 2023 Writers' Award competition. That's
right, just 30 more days to send us your best poetry, fiction or
creative non-fiction.
The twelve winning writers will:
The theme for our 10th Awards
is ‘X.’
Your work should respond to the theme, implicitly or explicitly,
but we're looking for quality writing first and foremost. The
theme is a creative prompt, not a requirement. Send us your best
work!
You have until
Sunday 14 May 2023, 11.59 pm to
enter either online, by email, or by post. Before you apply,
it’s really important that you check our rules and that you’re eligible. We aim to make
it as easy as possible to submit work.
The best way to get a sense of what we’re looking for is by
looking at previous winners’ work. You can do this by purchasing our previous anthologies here.
Good luck! We look forward to reading your
entries.

For the tenth Creative Future Writers’ Award,
we’re very excited to add a new genre—creative non-fiction. But
what exactly is it?
Also known as narrative non-fiction, it generally means
describing or telling a true story, events or experiences—and
doing so creatively in a narrative way, or through literary or
even poetic description. It usually recounts and reflects on a
personal narrative, event or experience. Good creative
non-fiction is factual, unique and draws us in.

Every year
since the Awards began, we’ve put forward a theme for the
competition—these have included Home, Chemistry, Tomorrow, How It Started and Essential.
You can see how past winners have responded to them in our Award anthologies.
As 2023 is the
tenth Awards, we’ve selected the theme of ‘X’.
(…in part because the gift for a tenth anniversary is tin, and
this would be a terrible theme.)
But what does ‘X’ mean?
