Join us Next year!

We will be looking for ten more writers from S1 or S2 attending secondary schools throughout Scotland to join us for Pushkin Prize-winners' Week 2010.

The winners will be selected by a panel of professional writers, and invited to attend a residential creative writing course at the Moniack Mhor Arvon Foundation Writers' Centre near Inverness.

Previous prize-winners have thoroughly enjoyed themselves:

'I had the best week of my life...'

'My only complaint is that it wasn't long enough!'

'I was really nervous about going, but once I got there I didn't want to leave.'

'The tutors were great fun - and I'm really proud of what I achieved.'

'I learnt that writing is about everything - the stuff that's in your imagination, and the stuff you add by looking around you and noticing.'

'I thought it would be a bit quiet, with everybody writing, but there was never a dull moment.'

'Can I enter again next year?'

Why don't you join us next year?

Pupils are invited to submit personal folios of three pieces of creative writing - fiction, biography, non-fiction, poetry, or reportage. To find out how to enter, click here.
