Creative Future Writers' Award Showcase: Live Stream

Find your next read at the live stream of this year’s award showcase of under-represented writers, hosted by Nancy Campbell, Courttia Newland and Kieran Yates. The Creative Future Writers’ Award is a development programme for talented writers from a wealth of backgrounds. It includes the UK’s only national writing competition for all under-represented writers, alongside workshops online and across the UK. This year’s competition invited entries from poets, short story and creative non-fiction writers on the theme of ‘Material.’ At this event, the winning writers read their work, in an exciting showcase of new and emerging voices. The 15 award-winning writers were selected by guest judges Nancy Campbell (Thunderstone), Courttia Newland (A River Called Time) and Kieran Yates (All The Houses I’ve Ever Lived In), alongside prizegivers Beth Brambling (Faber Academy), Jack Hadley (Curtis Brown Creative) and Aki Schilz (The Literary Consultancy). The winners share £25,000 in cash and development prizes from leading literary partners, long-term support, and publication in an anthology which debuts at the showcase.
