Located on the campus of Southern New Hampshire University, the New Hampshire Writers’ Project is a statewide membership-based nonprofit literary arts organization that serves as a resource for writers, publishers, booksellers, literary agents, educators, librarians, and readers in and near New Hampshire. It hosts the annual Writers’ Day writing conference; the Concord Book Festival; Writers’ Night Out, a monthly gathering of writers in various regions throughout the state; the biennial New Hampshire Literary Awards; and workshops on a variety of topics, ranging from craft to promotion.
Find details about every creative writing competition—including poetry contests, short story competitions, essay contests, awards for novels, grants for translators, and more—that we’ve published in the Grants & Awards section of Poets & Writers Magazine during the past year. We carefully review the practices and policies of each contest before including it in the Writing Contests database, the most trusted resource for legitimate writing contests available anywhere.
