Love Letters to London: Writing Competition 2024 by The London Society [Open to All; Cash Prizes Worth Rs. 4L+]: Submit by Dec 24

Submissions are invited for Love Letters to London: Writing Competition 2024 by The London Society. The last date of submission is December 24, 2024.

The Society is for all those who love London. It was founded in 1912 by a group of eminent Londoners concerned about the lack of planning in the capital.

Dust off the keyboard or get tapping on your mobile, because there is more than £4,000 of prizes in the London Society’s free to enter writing competition “Love Letters to London”.

Now in its fourth year, this competition is open to everyone to celebrate our wonderful, fantastic, infuriating city in prose or poetry. Open to all ages, and to all writing styles – fiction, poetry, essays and reportage – whether you live in the capital or not. There are special categories for under 18s, as well as prizes for schools.

If you want to walk away with one of the four first prizes of £500 – and see your work published by the London Society – get writing your own ‘Love Letter to London’.

As 2024 represents the 60th Anniversary of Martin Luther King’s sermon at St Paul’s, we are theming the competition around: DREAMS FOR LONDON

There will be four categories:

The prizes for the ‘Open’ and ‘Poetry’ categories will be as follows:

The prizes for the ’11 and under’ and ’12-18′ categories will be as follows:

In addition, the school of the two category winners will receive £250 of books of their choice.

The last date of submission is December 24, 2024.
