Rise to the challenge

Engage and inspire your members with this exciting new initiative – sign up today!

The organisation of internal BWA writing competitions in libraries and community organisations throughout the UK is an integral part of our promotional activity for this exciting new initiative. And it is expected to generate significant local and national media interest. This will have a positive impact all round, bringing benefits to your own organisation and your members as well as boosting wider awareness of the Brit Writers' Awards generally.

Do your bit to support a timely initiative that can benefit everyone...

Within a time of recession and uncertainty about the future, and with unemployment on the rise, there is no better time to encourage training in the basic skills of writing in order to raise overall levels of achievement in the UK as a whole. At the same time, the BWA can be used as a vehicle for promoting much better understanding between people from different cultural backgrounds. Libraries and other community organisations and their wider audiences can play a significant role in this activity. So rise to the challenge – and sign up today!

To take advantage of all the benefits that this exciting new initiative can bring to your community organisation and its members, please call our communities team on 0871 237 4442 or email us at: communities@britwriters.co.uk.
