Short description

The Aesthetica Creative Writing Award 2022, international competition is organized by the Aesthetica Magazine, an international art and culture magazine. This international literary prize is open to poetry and short fiction entries on any theme, celebrating innovation in content and form.

The Award was launched as a way to support the next generation of literary talent. Including both established and emerging practitioners to submit pieces on any theme, celebrating innovative poetry and short fiction. These were published in the Creative Works Annual. This publication was an anthology of new writing and new artwork, but as the Aesthetica Creative Writing Award and the Art Prize started to reach more audiences, the decision was made in 2013 to separate them into two Awards with their own prizes and publications. The Creative Writing Award is open to Poetry and Short Fiction submissions on any theme, however, organizer is particularly interested in works that reflect upon our ever changing world.
