Closing date 29 February 2024
Run in conjunction with Arts University Bournemouth.
The competition has the theme, ‘Lines in the Sand’ as its writing prompt and the Bournemouth Writing Festival organisers are looking for poetry (up to 30 lines) and flash fiction (up to 400 words). Of course, the theme can be interpreted in a variety of ways and they would encourage all entrants to think outside the box!
There will be up to 40 winners, who will feature in a published anthology and will get the opportunity to submit more of their work. They will then choose one of those winners, whose work they will publish in a dedicated chapbook.
All the competition details and rules are on the Bournemouth Writing Festival’s website bournemouthwritingfestival.co.uk/writing-competition
