Huge thanks to Sophie Lake of Aesthetica Magazine for letting us know about this fantastic writing opportunity for students!

Hosted by the international art and culture publication Aesthetica Magazine, the Award is a celebration of excellence in Poetry and Short Fiction,and one of the UK’s most prestigious competitions. It presents writers with the opportunity to further their involvement with the literary world.
Prizes for the Creative Writing Award include:

Publication in the Aesthetica Creative Writing Annual

Consultation with Redhammer (Short Fiction Winner)

Can you share this exciting opportunity with students? 

We’re keen to make sure as many students at York St John University know about this opportunity. I have provided some copy below which would be great if you could share on your social media pages and send an email to all students.
