The New Writers 100-Word Writing Competition 2025 is seeking imaginative, thought-provoking stories or poems of up to 100 words. With a prize fund of £1,150 and the top 10 entries getting published on the website and in a future New Writers Anthology, this is a great competition for new and experienced writers alike.
Also, 10% of the proceeds of the competition will be split equally between First Story and The Funzi & Bodo Trust. So even if you don’t win, you’ll still be contributing to a good cause.
We want to make the competition accessible to as many writers as possible. We therefore have a limited number of free entries for low-income writers, available on a first-come, first-served basis (up to 22nd April 2025). Please see the terms and conditions for details.
So if you’d like the chance to win up to £500 for (up to) 100 words, get involved.
