As well as cash prizes, winners of the poetry, short story and flash fiction competitions are published in the Bridport Prize anthology. Winners of the Peggy Chapman Andrews First Novel Award will receive mentoring with our partner The Literary Consultancy - the UK's first and leading editorial and manuscript assessment service.
The prize was founded in 1973, in a small town in Dorset, UK, by Peggy Chapman-Andrews. Today it is a global writing competition and many winners have gone on to see their work published and have become household names.
Past judges include Ali Smith, Roger McGough, Carol Ann Duffy, U A Fanthorpe, Kate Atkinson, Margaret Drabble, Andrew Motion and Tracy Chevalier.
For your chance to win get your entries to us by 31 May, 12 midnight BST 2019.

Watch our 'How to Enter' video below for step by step guidance on submitting your entry:
“The Bridport competition is one of the most prestigious, and the standard of entries published in the prize anthology - poetry, short stories and flash fiction - is incredibly high so I was immensely pleased and excited to hear my short story had been highly commended.
"Writing is a pretty isolating business and to have my work recognised by the short story judge Tessa Hadley, is something to be treasured.”
