Write to be Heard opens for entries on 9th September
Do you work with offenders in prison? Would you like to help us encourage literacy, creativity and self-expression?
We are delighted to announce that the Write to be Heard creative writing awards are open for entries on 9th September. We are looking for writing that sounds good read out loud – the prize is to be featured in special National Prison Radio shows being broadcast in December. We are after fresh ideas and new stories from prisoner voices and we're not worried if spelling or grammar isn’t perfect. Songs, poetry, plays, children’s books, prose – all are welcome. For extra inspiration, National Prison Radio are broadcasting tips, ideas and exercises from the writing workshops that are currently being delivered in prisons and YOIs up and down the country.
All genuine entries will receive a certificate with special awards for featured work and those who have made an exceptional effort to enter. You can find out about the competition Rules and Regulations and download the Entry Form from the Arts Alliance website.
