-
There are three Awards - for under 26s, under 19s and under 15s.
-
The Awards are for creative writing (fact or fiction) on, or with a
background in, any aspect of horseracing.
-
Particular importance will be attached to originality, imagination, conviction, entertainment, construction and use of language, as well as obvious enthusiasm for both writing and the subject matter.
-
Quality of writing is key; a detailed knowledge of horseracing is unnecessary.
-
The maximum wordcounts are 1,200 (under 26/19s) and 800 (under 15s).
-
Prizes total £3,125 plus the opportunity (for some) to be published
in the racing press and to have work experience at the Racing Post.
