Could you be the UK's next writing star?

The Brit Writers' Awards Unpublished 2010 are looking for the UK's best undiscovered writers - people like you, who create stories, poems or songs that deserve to be shared.

You might have been writing all your life... or maybe writing is a new interest for you. Perhaps you've never written seriously before, but you've always enjoyed telling stories. You might not even know that there is "a book in there somewhere". 

Whether you're eight or 108, it's possible that you're one of the original, exciting and talented new creative writers we're looking for. You could even win an amazing £10,000 - the largest prize ever offered to unpublished writers in a creative writing competition. 

This website has plenty of writing resources to help you get started. Sign up to receive regular updates; register to use our exclusive features area; read about our high-profile judges and find out who our partners are. Most importantly, get scribbling that masterpiece - we're already counting down to our glittering awards ceremony on Saturday 26 June 2010 and we can't wait to see who steps into the spotlight. Could it be you?
