Wasafiri New Writing Prize 2010

Renowned worldwide for featuring some of the best and brightest new talent, Wasafiri launched an annual new writing prize as part of its 25th anniversary celebrations in 2009. The prize is now in its second year and the competition is open for entries. 

The competition is open to anyone worldwide who has not published a complete book. We are looking for creative submissions in one of three categories: Poetry, Fiction or Life Writing. Three winners (one from each category) will receive £300 and their winning entries will be published in an issue of Wasafiri.

This year's judges are Romesh Gunesekera (Fiction), Moniza Alvi (Poetry) and Marina Warner (Life Writing) and the Chair is Susheila Nasta.

To enter simply fill in the entry form and return it with your entry and a fee of UK Sterling £5 by the closing date of 30 July 2010 (preferably by cheque or via PayPal). Entrants who are visually impaired or prevented from typing through disability can submit their entry on audio CD.
