Ulster-Scots Writing Competition Closing Soon
If you can speak in Ulster-Scots then you will be able to write in prose or poetry in whatever farmat takes you to enter in this year’s Linen Hall Ulster-Scots Writing Competition.
The rich cultural heritage of the Ulster-Scots community across Northern Ireland and in Scotland is celebrated in this fun literary event.
There are two competition categories you can enter in: prose and poetry.
This competition is a platform for young and not so young writers who want to show off their fluency and verve in Ulster-Scots.
Both categories have a super £500 cash prize for the winner, and one runner-up from each section will receive£250.
And during Ulster-Scots week in November 2024, the lucky winners will be revealed.
Their poems and prose will then be published in a special edition anthology.
Entrants for both prose and poetry competitions should submit their work by Friday, 30 August at 5pm.
