February Competitions
Jan 25, 2025
My latest list of writing competitions. These are only the ones I might possibly enter myself, so I’m afraid there’s nothing for poets or memoirists.
Never Too Late
Jan 23, 2025
The prestigious Bridport Prize has introduced a new award for the over sixties. This is not a new competition, but rather a prize for the oldie who comes highest across the four existing categories.

Competitions November ‘24
Oct 24, 2024
Members might be interested to see the list of writing competitions with deadlines next month I have compiled. The list is far from comprehensive and it only includes competitions I am both eligible for and interested in – so generally no poetry or non-fiction, for example.
