CLICK AND READ: NEW MEDIA WRITING PRIZE

It’s been a pleasure being one of the judges The New Media Writing Prize, now in it’s fifth year, run by Bournemouth University who are leaders in the field of animation in the UK, and awarded annually to a piece of literature that’s best experienced on a screen. No agents involved, no intermediaries, just a link to a writer or maker’s website will do. You can see examples of all the shortlisted works on the www.newmediawritingprize.co.uk website. It’s judged in English, but an inspirational past winner Loss of Grasp by Serge Bouchardon and Vincent Volckaert, can be read and heard in Spanish, French and Italian too. And with an app or website, updates are always possible and translations can be added as the audience grows.
