Muslim Writers Awards is back and is inviting your submissions for its 2012 competition.
You can now submit to the following:
- Muslim Writers Awards (over 16’s)
- Young Muslim Writers Awards, presented by the Yusuf Islam Foundation (under 16’s)
- The Spirit of Cordoba Prize, with The Cordoba Foundation
This year the competition is bigger than it’s ever been with three new categories, plus favourites from last year including the Young Journalist Prize (16-25) which was presented by BBC News reporter and presenter Asad Ahmad.
The competition is a great platform for emerging writers, with a number of shortlisted entrants going on to further success in the literary industry. Mina Muhammad, winner of the Short Story Prize in the under 16’s Young Muslim Writers Awards, was successful in publishing her novel See Red, soon after being shortlisted – at the age of 15!
Our judging panels offer years of experience and knowledge from within the industry. Past judges have included stage, TV and film actor Nadim Sawalha (Syriana, The Avengers, East is East), Shannon Park (Editorial Director, Fiction for Puffin Books) and Simon Prosser (Publishing Director of Hamish Hamilton & Penguin Books) amongst others.
