The Martin Wills Memorial Trust, a UK-registered charity, promotes annual awards for creative writing by young people around a horseracing theme.

The 2013 Awards, the 21st, opened for entries on 5 January and closed on 28 February. The results were announced on 17 April, when the presentation was made at Newmarket Racecourse. It is envisaged that the 2014 Awards will be broadly similar in nature and timetable.

The Trust commemorates Martin Wills, a journalist and amateur jockey who died in April 1992, aged 39.
