GSA Creative Writing Award 2023
GSA launches ‘Let Me Put You on Speaker’ for its creative writing award in 2023 to power-up girls’ voices in a theme that urges girls to speak-up, speak-out, and speak-louder in a poetic celebration of female friendship and allyship.
In more exciting news, award-winning poet Karen McCarthy Woolf is this year’s competition judge, and is also writer in residence for GSA for its duration and will be writing her own exclusive commission as part of GSA’s ever-popular annual creative writing award.
Submissions are now open here!
Pupils are now invited to send in their best poems to shine a light on their friendships. From BFFs to childhood alliances their work will showcase the social and emotional lives of many girls today, and pay tribute to the transformative power of their friendships.
Karen McCarthy Woolf has created unique prompts and resources for teachers, and younger and older children alike to use for their own inspiration, and is looking forward to reading every submission herself.
