This Year's Prize Kelpies Prize 2015 -- Now Open

How to Enter
Kelpies Prize 2015 -- now open
From Dumfries to Dundee, Glasgow to Aberdeen and everywhere in between, we are looking for Scottish children's novels with a difference.
Fantastic fantasies, sensational sci-fi, awesome adventures and satisfying slices of life -- the Kelpies range of Scottish children's novels has them all. But we are still looking for more. Do you have a cracking story, with strong characters and believable dialogue which children won't be able to put down? Then we want to read it!
This year, for the first time, we’re looking for entries to the Kelpies Prize in three categories to reflect our expanding audience:
Young Kelpies (6-8 year olds)
Kelpies (8-11 year olds)
KelpiesTeen (11-14 year olds)
The Kelpies Prize was set up in 2004 to encourage and reward new Scottish writing for children. Winning authors receive a £2,000 cash prize and have their novel published in the Kelpies range. For more detail, please read the Guidelines below.
The closing date for entries for the 2015 Prize is 28 February 2015. If you would like to submit a manuscript, please read the following Guidelines, and Terms & Conditions, carefully. When you submit your manuscript, you must also include an Application Form.
