Submit your entry for WRAP’s creative writing competition – Notes to Self

Published: 08/02/2023

Submissions are now open for the latest WRAP creative writing competition. Send us your 'Notes to Self' for a chance to be published in the next WRAP anthology.

Following the success of WRAP's (Writing, Reading and Pleasure) 2022 anthology, All About Love, we're giving NTU students another opportunity to become published writers and see themselves in print.

Inspired by WRAP featured writer Emilie Pine's 'Notes to Self', we're asking you to write about a moment, event or experience in your life. Perhaps you've got a family story to tell about a holiday, occasion or meal. Maybe there's a childhood memory to recall, or something that happened at school, university or work. You could choose to write a note to your past, present or future self. All lives are valuable and every experience counts. Your entry can be sad or uplifting, funny or personal; we will treat your writing with respect. You can write in prose, poetry or script, or submit an illustration.

There will be up to ten winners and a number of highly commended entries. Winners will be published in our 2023 anthology and have the opportunity to perform at our WRAP Live! student showcase at Metronome. The overall winner will be able to book a Creative Writing course, worth over £400, generously donated by NTU Creative Short Courses.

More information and how to enter

Find more information and submit your entry through our online form before the deadline at 9 am on Monday 17 April.
