Good Writing Awards
Closing date 31 December 2009 Nomination open only to UK citizens The National Academy of Writing has launched the Good Writing Awards. Their aim is to start and promote a national debate about good writing. Members of the public are able to nominate and vote for the best, and worst in prose or dramatic writing; nominations must be between 100 or 1,000 words and have been published or performed in the UK in 2009. The Awards are not about one-line aphorisms or jokes, no matter how witty or well-written they are. The upper limit has been set because the National Academy believes that good writing ought to be able to demonstrate its quality in less than 1,000 words. The piece you nominate must have been in print, available to buy or download, or have been performed in the UK in 2009. The nominated piece may be a section or extract from a larger work. The categories are: English prose fiction; general non-fiction (including essays, newspaper reports, and parts of non-fiction books); drama scripts; business and government writing; and instructions, directions and manuals. The Good Writing Awards have been organised by The National Academy of Writing and the judges'
panel is being chaired by by politician,
broadcaster, author and journalist Matthew Parris, alongside Ed
Victor, academic David Roberts, Financial Times columnist
Lucy Kelloway and Lord Kerr of Kinlochard. |
