Competition
Enter the Wild Words Writing Competition
We may be yearning to fill our potential as storytellers and to craft words that slip off the tongue, or leap off the page, but at Wild Words we know that it’s not always easy to unchain yourself from everyday responsibilities, break out of the box and just write.
This competition acts as a friendly elbow in the ribs – a quiet kick in the shins. It’s a carrot to get you scribbling.
It runs twice a year and celebrates the Spring and Winter solstices. Each solstice there's a new theme to inspire your entry. The closing dates are the 21st June, and the 21st December.
We unpeel those layers that have attached themselves over time, by finding word portals back to a freshness of thought and expression.
