Winners will be awarded cash prizes and promotion, as well as mentoring, work placements and professional development opportunities. Crucially, the Young Creative Awards provide recognition, encouragement and support for young people in Nottingham. As YCA 2019 Creative Writing winner put it, the Young Creative Awards "assembles a sort of scaffolding when you're doing something wobbly at a rickety sort of age. Someone somewhere doesn't think you're waisting your time: keep going."

You have until the deadline on 21 April 2021 to submit your entry. Shortlisted finalists will be announced in early June. Winners will be announced a few weeks later.

We wish you the very best of luck!
