The “prestigious Wicked Young Writers' Award” (The Times) was established by the long-running musical Wicked in order to link the important messages of the production with a competition that would inspire young people to use their writing to look at life a little differently.Now in its 5th year, the Award recognises excellence in writing, encourages creativity, and helps develop writing talent in young people between 5-25 years old from all backgrounds and areas of the UK & Ireland.
A shortlist of 100 entrants will be invited to a very special prize event at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in July 2015 and each will receive a published copy of their entry as part of the annual Wicked Young Writers' Award Anthology.
Entries can be submitted individually or as part of a school group and both online and postal entries are accepted. Follow the link for details:http://www.wickedyoungwriters.com/default.asp
