2011 Sefton Writing Competition is ready for launch!
The 2011 Sefton Writing competition was launched on Monday 4 September 2011.
The Competition has been going since 1991 and is open to all ages, offering prizes totalling £1000 across three categories of adult poetry, adult other writing (stories, essays, lyrics etc) and a children’s section.
Entry to the competition is £2 per item but under-14s can enter for free. The deadline for entries is Monday 28 November.
This years winners will be announced at a special awards event at the Royal Clifton Hotel on Wednesday 7 December (6.30pm –8.30pm). The event is to be hosted by David Lonsdale (Heartbeat, The Royal) with entertainment from poet Kei Miller.
Emma Lloyd, Marketing & Programme Manager says:
The Sefton Writing Competition is an annual event that receives hundreds of entries. Past winners have gone on to write their own material and becomes published authors and poets.
We want to support writing initiatives and will publish the winning entries in the new SEFTON magazine and online.
