Moniack Mhor is proud to announce the creation of a new prize for writers, developed in partnership with the Bridge Awards. The Bridge Awards is a philanthropic venture that has helped to fund theatre and visual arts projects. This opportunity will give the winning writer the time and space to make a significant breakthrough in developing a full-length piece of work.
A few words from the Bridge Awards: We hope that the combination of Moniack Mhor’s beautiful setting, inspiring courses and experienced mentors will enhance the awardee’s creative practice and provide a valuable stepping-stone in his/her writing career.
Moniack Mhor Writers Centre is inviting unpublished writers to apply for the 2015 Prize. The successful candidate will receive a tailor made package including tuition via open courses, retreat time or mentoring. The final terms of the Awards will be agreed by the successful candidate and Moniack Mhor.
Eligibility
The Awards is open to unpublished writers living and working in Scotland with a collection of short stories or novel in development.
Please apply by sending:
- A CV which demonstrates that you meet the criteria
- An A4 summary of your writing project that outlines your work in progress – anonymous
- A sample of your work (maximum 1000 words, double spaced and single sided with page numbers. Please do not put your name on the document as it will be judged anonymously)
