Bridport Prize: Never Too Late 60+ Award
Deadline: Sat 31 May 2025
This £500 award is for the highest placed writer aged 60+ across poetry, short story, novel or flash fiction.
Why 60+?
The Never Too Late Award unlocks the hidden talent of older writers. Writers in later life often struggle to be seen despite a wealth of experience, creativity and stories to tell.
Championed by best selling author Kit de Waal (aged 64) and London Literary Agent, AM Heath (in business for over a century), this award aims to recognise success over sixty and a ‘never give up’ resilience that is the mainstay of writers.
The winner will also receive a Zoom session with Mary-Anne Harrington from Tinder Press (part of Hachette) about the publishing industry and two signed copies of Kit de Waal’s books.
To qualify for the award, tick the box confirming your age when you submit your poem, short story, flash fiction or novel to our 31 May 2025 competition deadline.
