The Times/Chicken House Children's Fiction Competition
Deadline: Fri 14 May 2021
Are you an unpublished and unagented writer with an original and exciting story for 7-to-18-year-olds? We're looking for original ideas, a fresh voice, a diverse range of entries and stories that children will love! Open to writers worldwide aged 18 or over.
We'd particularly like to encourage entry for BAME writers and others from underrepresented backgrounds.
We’re offering not one but TWO fantastic prizes:
The Times/Chicken House Prize
The main prize is a worldwide publishing contract with Chicken House with a £10,000 advance (subject to contract). Our esteemed panel of judges will select the winner from a shortlist of five complete fiction manuscripts for children aged 7 up to Young Adult. The winner will also receive an offer of representation from a top literary agent.
The IET 150 Award
The IET 150 Award, sponsored by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, celebrates the intersection between creativity and science and will be awarded for a complete fiction manuscript for children aged 7 up to Young Adult that broadly explores or celebrates Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. The prize is a worldwide publishing contract with Chicken House with a £10,000 advance (subject to contract) and an offer of representation by a top literary agent.
