This year we are thrilled to open a second category of the New Welsh Writing Awards with many thanks to the generous support from The Borzello Trust. Supporting in the development of yet unpublished poets living, working or from Wales, the winner of The Borzello Trust Prize for Poetry will receive a £500 development publishing contract with Parthian Books/The Borzello Trust. Including mentorship from Susie Wild to develop a poetry collection that (following publication) will be distributed via The Borzello Trust to over 250 Welsh libraries and schools. There will be a £150 cash prize to the five highly commended entries and publication in a special anthology collection published by Parthian Books.
Winner: £500 as an advance on a book development contract with Parthian Books, for publication on their poetry list, plus mentorship/development with press editors, aiming for a full-length poetry collection.
Runner-up entries: Five runner-ups will receive £150 cash each and publication in a special poetry anthology published by Parthian Books.
Judges: Susie Wild and Niall Griffiths
