Our Annual Literary Prize is back again for 2025, with bigger cash prizes, a publication for all shortlisted entries in our annual anthologies, a televised award ceremony, and an inspiring new theme. 

Sponsored by the University Centre Grimsby, Art Council England and The Royal Society for Arts, this annual writing competition, now in its ninth year, attracts entries from over 40 countries around the world.

Enter any of our four categories- or all four! - for the opportunity to win cash prizes, have your work published, feature in a televised award ceremony at our annual literary festival and even have expert feedback on your work.
