LIST OF WRITING CONTESTS

Each year, The European Society of Literature organises a host of writing competitions. The writing competitions serve to help elevate forgotten and/or hidden talent within the literary world. We firmly believe that there has been a decline in the quality of literature produced, and we wish to reinvigorate an ecosystem which, for thousands of years, has brought joy and fulfilment to millions around the world. In order to reverse this decline, we need to promote literature and writing which speaks to the soul, rather than that which speaks to the pockets of publishing executives—that is what we shall do.

Below is a list of writing contests we’ve hosted. The list will continue to grow rapidly as the organisation expands and we receive more feedback from the community.
