A creative writing competition for international students studying in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, with cash prizes and a free writing workshop during the Festival

Our nature-inspired competition for primary schools, secondary schools and home-educated children has been developed with educators and teachers in mind - together with Dorset Goes Wild and Hengistbury Head Writers Group.

Together with local publishers Dithering Chaps and Arts University Bournemouth, the Bournemouth Writing Festival is looking for poetry and flash fiction submissions for its first publication! Winners have been announced.
