Competition Deadline: The Bournemouth Writing Prize
August 15
From the competition website:
Bournemouth has a rich literary heritage. World-renowned writers – from Bram Stoker to Bill Bryson, Mary Shelley to JRR Tolkien, all took inspiration from our seaside oasis on the south coast of Dorset. Originally, Bournemouth was a spa town, attracting people from across the country (and polluted cities!) to use the sea air to revitalise their wellbeing. Where relaxation exists, creativity springs.
Drawing on Bournemouth’s incredible creative scene – including two world-class universities, colleges and language schools – and a thriving, engaged and inclusive creative community, our 2027 writing competition – in partnership with the Bournemouth Writing Prize – invites writers from across the world to be inspired by Bournemouth’s rich literary history to send us entries on any subject.
