Myths & Legends: IGGY & Litro 2014/15 Young Writers Prize
Litro Magazine and IGGY are pleased to be hosting their annual IGGY & Litro Young Writers’ Prize for the fifth year.
IGGY is a social networking resource developed by the University of Warwick to serve as a global community for creative young people. IGGY is dedicated to connecting 13- 18 year olds and promoting creative excellence around the world.
For the last five years Litro has been teaming up with IGGY to host the Young Writer’s Prize, with spectacular results. Founded by Litro Editor in Chief, Eric Akoto: “Each year, the strength of the entrants amaze and surprise, the stories grow in maturity and strength of theme.”
The 2014/15 award program aims to build on past success. IGGY and Litro share a calling to promote creative excellence in young people. Both are venerable cultural institutions in their own right: known for fostering creativity, and who pride themselves on connecting debut and emerging writers to an international creative and educational community.
The IGGY & Litro Young Writers’ Prize has the potential to be a truly life changing award, with a cash prize of £2,000 for the winning entry, and £200 for each of the five runners-up.
