The Creative Future Writers’ Award Showcase is hosted by Wayne Holloway-Smith, Irenosen Okojie and Nina Mingya Powles.

The Creative Future Writers’ Award is a development programme for talented writers from a
wealth of backgrounds. It includes the UK’s only national writing competition for all underrepresented writers, as well as workshops held online and across the UK.

This year’s iteration invited entries from poets, short-story and creative-non-fiction writers on the theme of ‘X’, for the Awards’ tenth anniversary.

Twelve winners were selected by poet Wayne Holloway-Smith, novelist Irenosen Okojie and poet/essayist Nina Mingya Powles, alongside judges Jennifer Kerslake from Curtis Brown Creative, Joey Connolly from Faber Academy, Maryam Hessavi from Poetry School and Joe Sedgwick from The Literary Consultancy.

At this showcase, the winning writers, alongside the hosts and Creative Future’s 2023 regional Writers In Residence, read their work.

The winners receive £20,000 in cash and development prizes from leading literary partners, long-term support and publication in an anthology, which debuts at the event.
