The 2023 Bloom Writing Contest
The 2023 Bloom Writing Contest is a writing competition that seeks to find hidden talent in the literary scene. Named after the late Harold Bloom, a renowned literary critic and scholar, the contest will place heavy emphasis on works of deep meaning, aesthetic beauty and literary quality—just as he did. Unlike the previous competition, The 2023 Bloom Writing Contest accepts submissions of all types, whether it be an essay, a poem, a short story, or even an exhortation (if that’s your style!). All will be judged equally and on the basis of your submission’s quality independently.
Submissions are closed as of May 1st.

The European Writing Prize
Submissions closed as of Jan 1st
The European Society of Literature’s annual writing competition was a major success. Thousands of people from around the world submitted pieces of writing, and we thank you all for your participation.
The longlist, shortlist, and winners will be announced in the ‘Articles’ section of the website, and will also be emailed to entrants.
The #EuropeanWritingPrize seeks to showcase unrecognised writers across the world by allowing them a platform to present their writing. Winners and shortlisted pieces will be published in the first edition of The European Literary Review.
