The Bridport Prize International Creative Writing Competition is an open writing competition that is dedicated to finding and encouraging the most promising new writers from across the world. Each year the judges award over GBP18,000 in prize money for your best submissions in poetry, short stories, flash fiction and first novels.
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 their 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.
• The Prize is open to writers of any nationality writing in English, 16 years old and over at the time of the closing date;
• Entries must be entirely the work of the entrant and by submitting you are confirming that the work is your own. Any evidence to the contrary will result in immediate disqualification;
• Entries must never have been published, self-published, published on any website, blog or online forum, broadcast nor winning or placed (as in 2nd, 3rd, runner-up etc) in any other competition; **
• If your entry has been long-listed or shortlisted in other competitions and provided it has not won a prize or been published, then it is eligible for the Bridport Prize;
• Simultaneous submissions are allowed but will become ineligible should they win a prize or be published prior to the prize-giving
date; entry fees will not be refunded;
• You must inform the Bridport Prize immediately should your entry be published or win a prize elsewhere;
• Entries submitted posthumously will not be eligible.
`** The Novel Award has a slight variant on this rule. Entrants to this category must not have previously published a novel, (although self-published and ebooks are accepted). Novel entrants who have had other types of books traditionally published e.g. poetry, memoir, nonfiction, are eligible to submit.
