Final Chapters Writing Competition

A writing competition with a difference is accepting entries on the theme of dying, death and bereavement.

The Dying Matters Coalition who are organizing the competition said talking and reading about other people’s childhoods, sadness, happiness and aspirations can help other people to cope with their own ups and downs.

Shared experience is seldom there to support us when our life is nearing its end or when people close to us are dying, said the coalition.

Anyone touched by dying, whether directly or as a relative, friend, colleague or carer, can enter the writing competition.

Prizes: £200; £100; or £50; plus highly commended certificates.

Entry is free of charge.

Entries should be a maximum of 2,500 words of prose or 40 lines of poetry.

The judges will be looking for original writing in which the author’s feelings and thoughts about the end of life have been crafted into a succinct piece of work that attracts the reader’s attention and retains their interest.

All entries will also be considered for publication online or in print form, said the organizers.

Closing date for entries is March 31, 2012.
