Please send your entry by Friday 21 April 2017 in order to be considered for inclusion. There is no prize this year, other than possibly hearing your work presented at the University of Aberdeen's May Festival, 26-28 May 2017.
'Celebrating North-East Writing' at the University's May Festival, 26-28 May 2017, replaces the Toulmin Prize for 2017.
The Celebration event is now open to receiving poems and stories with a North-East focus, some of which will feature at the event, along with other North-East writers, speakers and performers.
Contributions should be sent to Dr Thomas A. McKean, Director, The Elphinstone Institute, University of Aberdeen, MacRobert Building, King's College, Aberdeen, AB24 5UA. E-mail: elphinstone@abdn.ac.uk
It is hoped that the Toulmin Prize Competition will be relaunched in 2018.
