We’ve teamed up with the New Welsh Writing Awards 2016 to offer the second prize of a week-long residential course in 2016 of the winner’s choice (subject to availability).

The New Welsh Writing Awards 2016: University of South Wales Prize for Travel Writing has opened for entries on 19 January 2016 and closes at midnight on Sunday 3 April 2016. The Prize celebrates the best short form travel writing (5,000-30,000 words) from emerging and established writers based in the UK and Ireland plus those who have been educated in Wales. The judges are New Welsh Review editor Gwen Davies and award winning travel writer Rory MacLean, who’ll be tutoring at Tŷ Newydd on a non-fiction course in May: Life and Other Journeys.
