Young Writer Competitions
Our writing competitions for young people aged 16-18 aim to uncover the next generation of writing talent.
Become the next Young Writer (a short story writing competition for creative writers), Young Columnist (for journalists with a historical angle), or Young Anthropologist (for writing about identity and culture).
All three competitions have a £1,000 first prize, and two runner-up prizes of £50. All shortlisted entries will also receive a small prize.
Registration is now open. The deadline for submissions for all competitions is 12.05 am on Monday 2 August 2021.
