About the Manchester Writing Competition
The Manchester Writing Competition was established by Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy in 2008, funded in the first instance by the Manchester Metropolitan University’s innovative Enterprise Fellowship scheme. The project was designed to attract the best new writing from around the world, and to establish Manchester as the focal point for a major literary award. Since it began, the Competition has awarded more than £115,000 to its winners. These are the UK’s biggest literary awards for unpublished writing.
Initially, the Competition alternated annually between Poetry and Fiction but, from 2013, both will be running every year, with £10,000*awarded to the writer of the best portfolio of poetry, and another £10,000* to the writer of the best short story.
