Whether you're a seasoned wordsmith or just starting out on your writing journey, this contest is a chance to share your voice with a wider audience.
The European Society of Literature has developed a strong foundation in discovering and promoting young talent in the literary world. With over 6000 submissions in the previous contest, which is being judged as this is being written, it has become a highly respected and sought-after organisation for emerging writers. The 2023 Bloom Writing Contest builds on this, seeking to continue the mission of the European Writing Prize by providing a platform for talented writers to share their work with a global audience.
The contest will be named in honor of Harold Bloom, a renowned literary critic and scholar whose work has had a profound impact on the literary world. Bloom was deeply devoted to promoting literature that elevates the human spirit and expands our understanding of the world and other people. As such, the Bloom Writing Contest is dedicated to finding and supporting writing that embodies these values.
