Please spread the word as we invite you to send in your own creative piece in prose or poetry, inspired by the ideas below ... deadline is 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 metal 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.
