The Bridport Prize is an international creative writing competition established in 1973. It's the flagship project of Bridport Arts Centre in Dorset, UK. Every year we receive thousands of entries from writers across the world to our poetry, short story, flash fiction and novel competitions. 

Next year, we plan to publish a second anthology alongside our regular publication. The new anthology will feature extracts from the twenty long-listed novels from our Peggy Chapman-Andrews Award for a First Novel, giving a platform to host of exciting new voices. 

Recent winners of this award, established in 2014, include Kelleigh Greenberg-Jephcott, Deepa Anappara and Stephanie Scott.  All three have sold their Bridport Prize winning novels for six figure sums!

The money raised from the marathon will go towards the cost of publishing the new anthology in 2019.
