Submissions close 30 September 2023
This Annual Literary Prize is back again for 2023, with bigger cash prizes, publication for all shortlisted entries in our annual anthologies, a televised award ceremony, and an inspiring new theme… ‘FATE’.
Sponsored by the University Centre Grimsby, this annual writing competition, now in its seventh year, attracts entries from up to 30 countries around the world.

The four categories are:
- Short Story
- Poetry
- Scriptwriting
- Songwriting
Entry Fee: £10 per category.
