How do you feel your school will benefit from holding a mini BWA competition?

"By providing the pupils with a greater opportunity for creative imaginative writing, particularly those preparing for their GCSE examinations. Our focus group would be in the senior school i.e. 11-16 yr olds. As we are no longer restricted by the key stage 3 national curriculum there are also opportunities for us here to raise the profile in an exciting and challenging way"

Partnership opportunities

We're always looking for forward-thinking organisations and individuals to help us make the inaugural Brit Writers' Awards a runaway success.

The Brit Writers' Awards promises to become the biggest annual event on the UK's literary calendar. It provides the first ever 'springboard' for unpublished and emerging writers of every age group, community and writing style, and is offering £10,000 to the overall winner – the largest prize fund ever offered to unpublished writers. Our dream is to open the door to an industry that traditionally can feel hidden to many people, and show the UK that creative writing is an exciting, expressive and mind-expanding art form that is accessible and relevant to everyone.

We already know that the BWA is going to be a huge success. Our team gained international acclaim by setting up the Muslim Writers' Awards (with entries increasing from 400 in the first year to more than 10,000 last year), and we're delighted that the BWA already has the support of several high-profile partners and a prestigious judging panel. As you know, though, delivering an event or programme on this scale is no mean feat, so we're grateful to every business and individual who generously donates their time, financial support or expertise.

If you're interested in getting involved with the Brit Writers' Awards, we'd love you to come on board! We're especially keen to meet with forward-thinking organisations, and high-profile individuals – authors, celebrities, literary agents – who are keen to put their names to an event that aims to reach out to every budding writer in the UK, of every age, background and belief.

To show your support, contact our Partnership Team on 0871 237 4442 or email partnerships@britwriters.co.uk today!
