          CWA Young Crime Writers' Competition
                      

                                     

                                                                  

Can you write a first rate crime story?

That’s the challenge issued to you by the Crime Writers’ Association (CWA).

You can pick up your entry form and competition requirements at your local library.  Entries will be accepted at your local library from 10 January to 18 February.

You have up to 1000 words to get the readers hooked, although you don’t have to write as much as that – perhaps you can create such a brilliant story that even 100 words will be enough to knock the judges dead…

Crime novels include a very wide variety of material – detective stories, creepy psychological thrillers, historical whodunits, spies, terrorist plots… from cops and robbers to vigilantes and robots, the choice is yours and if you’re short of inspiration, why not borrow some crime novels from the library and see how the professionals do it?
