UK Creative Arts is delighted to announce the creation of a new competition for budding UK writers
In the UK, there are a number of talented authors who are aspiring to have their work published. The Creativate National Writing Competition has been launched by UK Creative Arts and the National Arts Advisory Board, to support those authors who have talent, but who haven't yet had the opportunity of demonstrating that talent to the industry. As part of UK Creative Arts' Youth Pledge, we will be donating a percentage of authors' entry fees to Book Trust, the largest reading charity in the UK.
CATEGORIES
The works must be original fiction, and can be either unpublished or self-published. There are six different categories for full length-novels:
Category A: Fiction: YA
Category B: Fiction: Drama
Category C: Fiction: Romance
Category D: Fiction: Crime / Mystery
Category E: Fiction: Science Fiction
Category F: Fiction: Fantasy
PRIZES
Winners and runners-up will be awarded cash prizes, and grants to attend one of the UK's leading writing courses, where they will be able to network and showcase their work to writing industry professionals. The winners' biographies, and a sample of their work, will also be featured in the UK Creative Arts 2016 Annual Report, which is sent to companies and organisations in the creative arts industry, including the UK's principal agents and publishers. In addition, copies are distributed to private and government policy-makers through the National Arts Advisory Board.
