Litro Magazine and IGGY are pleased to be hosting their annual IGGY & Litro Young Writers’ Prize for the fifth year.

IGGY is a social networking resource developed by the University of Warwick to serve as a global community for creative young people. IGGY is dedicated to connecting 13- 18 year olds and promoting creative excellence around the world.

The 2014/15 award program aims to build on past success. IGGY and Litro share a calling to promote creative excellence in young people. Both are venerable cultural institutions in their own right: known for fostering creativity, and who pride themselves on connecting debut and emerging writers to an international creative and educational community.

The IGGY & Litro Young Writers’ Prize has the potential to be a truly life changing award, with a cash prize of £2,000 for the winning entry, and £200 for each of the five runners-up.

The IGGY & Litro Young Writers’ Prize is an important opportunity for young writers from all over the world to connect with readers; but it is also a chance for us to encourage and acknowledge creative excellence in young people from all over the world.
