NUS Literary Society

The Creative Writing Competition (CWC) aims to recognise outstanding student writing and encourage the practice of creative writing among Singapore’s youth. It contains three categories — poetry, fiction and plays — and is open to all students undergoing pre-university or tertiary education as well as full-time National Servicemen (NSFs). Each of the three categories is judged by an established local poet/writer, with prizes going to the top three entrants in that category.

The judges for the 2009/2010 CWC will be confirmed at a later date. The closing date for entries is 15 November 2009, 5pm. Entrants need not pay any administrative fee to participate.

Prizes for the 2009/2010 CWC are as follows:

Poetry:
1st Prize: S$150
2nd Prize: S$100
3rd Prize: S$50

Short Stories:
1st Prize: S$150
2nd Prize: S$100
3rd Prize: S$50

Plays:
1st Prize: S$150
2nd Prize: S$100
3rd Prize: S$50

Prizes are subject to change without notice. The judges have the right to not award a first prize if they feel that the calibre of entries does not merit it.
