The 2024 YWSP
The 2024 Young Walter Scott Prize closed for entries on 31st October 2024. However to help you start planning for next year, the Terms and Conditions and an Entry form can still be downloaded by clicking on this link: Ts and Cs 2024.
A shortlist will be announced in February 2025 and the judges will then decide on the winners in each category. Shortlistees and winners are notified but we are unable to notify unsuccessful entrants. The two overall category winners will be invited to the Borders Book Festival in June 2025 to receive their prizes – a £500 travel voucher and their work published in our printed Anthology.
If you have any questions about the YWSP, or you’d like a free copy of the 2023 Anthology, please do get in touch here. You can also sign up for our newsletter here to get all the latest news, or follow us on social media. Good luck and happy writing!
