The winners of each category will receive a £1\,000 cash prize and publication in Wasafiri magazine. All winners and shortlisted writers will be offered the Chapter and Verse or Free Reads mentoring scheme in partnership with The Literary Consultancy (dependent on eligibility)\, as well as a one-year print subscription to Wasafiri. \nWasafiri has been encouraging great writing from writers far and wide for more than three decades and their publication often has a decidedly international feel to it. But above it\, they seek out high-quality writing\, whether fiction\, non-fiction or poetry. Note that a single poetry entry can include up to three poems\, which together total no more than 3\,000 words. Each entry comprising three poems submitted as a single document. \nPlease visit the competition website for the full details.
