Enrolling in writing competitions might appear to be quite intimidating. However, someone has to win. Why do you not?
If you are able to mention that you were highly commended or that you won a writing competition, it will look fantastic on your CV. In addition, if you win a prize, it is a lovely addition to your student bank account. Prizes in cash can range from hundreds to thousands of pounds in writing competitions and awards.

How to Win Writing Competitions

These suggestions will help you win more writing contests and awards:
  • You need to stand out from the very first line of your entry if you want to impress the judges of the competition. Be creative. Try starting with something unexpected. Try experimenting with conventional writing strategies and presenting your ideas in a novel and memorable manner if you can.
  • Read the winning entries from previous years. Try to find winning entries from previous years to see the arguments and styles that have worked in the past. Creative writing is still crucial. However, keep in mind the essential characteristics that readers of award-winning writing might be looking for.
  • Check the terms and conditions of the competition—this is critical. Verify your eligibility for a competition before beginning to write an entry. Some competitions may stipulate that you must be a certain age, from a certain region, or have a certain amount of writing experience (such as being a published author).
  • Before submitting your work, always proofread it several times. If you want to point out errors or inconsistencies in your argument, it might be helpful to read it aloud. Also, if you think someone might have missed something, have them read it with you.
