Risking All

SaveAs Writers' International Writing Competition 2024

Risking All

This year we were pleased to announce our annual writing competition on the theme of 'risking all' - in a tribute to the Everest climbing team who set off on an ambitious expedition aiming to reach the summit, 100 years ago. We invited you to send in your own creative piece of prose or poetry, inspired by the ideas below ... and the deadline was Saturday 31 August 2024.









Statement from our sponsor The Canterbury Festival:




Reading and writing are, or should be, such an integral part of our lives and mental wellbeing, that we must all do our utmost to promote literature in all its forms.  To this end the Canterbury Festival is proud to sponsor the SaveAs Writers International Writing Competition Prizes.
