Young Walter Scott Prize

The Young Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction is a fantastic creative writing competition.

If you are interested in history and writing this is the competition for you!

There are two entry categories, 11 - 15 and 16 - 19 and entrants must live in the UK.  The work must be at least 800 words and set in a time before you (as the writer) were born.  It can take many forms, a story, a diary, letters, poetry, drama or reportage.

The closing date is 31 October so plenty of time, but entries must be made by post so we are giving you lots of notice.  Details of the competition can be found here.  The entry form, which you will need to print and post, can be found here.
