Entries for the WICKED Young Writer Awards 2019 are now open!

This amazing creative writing competition gives you the chance to develop your talents and win some truly magical prizes.

You could write a story, a poem, or even a play, and you can write about absolutely anything you like!

 

The prizes

If your entry makes it through to the final, you’ll get to go to a star-studded prize-giving ceremony at London’s Apollo Victoria Theatre, home to the musical Wicked.
Celebrity judges and Wicked cast members will perform and all of the winning entries will be read aloud.

Your piece of creative writing will also be published in a special book, the Wicked Young Writer Awards Anthology, and you’ll get your very own copy to keep.

All winners will also get:

• Four tickets to see the London production of WICKED at the Apollo Victoria Theatre.
• To meet cast members after the show and enjoy an exclusive backstage tour.
• £50 worth of books/eBooks tokens to spend.

Visit the Wicked Young Writer Awards website for more information and to see the full range of prizes.
