Ipswich and Suffolk Council for Racial Equality (ISCRE) launched the One County, Many Voices Literary Prize by Roma Tearne, Patron of ISCRE at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 15th September 2011.
The One County, Many Voices prize, run by ISCRE, is exploring themes associated with migration and different cultures and the competition involves two categories, one for writers aged between 11 and 18 and another for those older than 18. We are keen to encourage as wide a range of literary formats as possible, including historical research, autobiography, prose fiction and poetry can be submitted, with the theme of migration and diversity.
Entries for the 11 to 18 category should be no more than 1,500 words and for the over-18 category, the limit is 3,000 words. Entries may also be submitted in your own language. Both categories are open to all citizens falling into the above age categories regardless of race, nationality, religious belief or none, sexuality, language or disabilities.
The winner of each category will be awarded £250 from the sponsor JIMAS, an Ipswich-based charity promoting understanding between different faith communities.
The deadline for submission is Wednesday 30 November 2011 and entries should be sent to:
Sue Raychaudri, Office Manager @ Ipswich & Suffolk Council for Racial Equality (ISCRE), 46A St Matthews Street, Ipswich, Suffolk IP1 3EP.
