Entries are now being accepted for Radio Warrington’s annual writing competition and this year it is a special ‘Christmas & New Year’ themed short story & poetry competition.
Emotions often run high during the festive period with people looking back on years gone by, thinking about new beginnings, holding family get-togethers, remembering loved ones, etc., and we hope this will inspire the local writing community to engage with the competition for the chance to win some super prizes.
A winner and runner-up will be selected for each category. As well as receiving the prizes indicated below, our winners will have their work published widely in the local press and on social media and be given the opportunity to perform their stories and/or poems live on Radio Warrington.
Entries must be received by midnight on Sunday 27th November 2022. Full details, rules, terms & conditions can be found at the foot of this entry from.
